1
0:00:00
0:00:08
Okay. All right. No, no, hang on for Aamon. Tell us Aamon what time it is for you in Thailand?
2
0:00:09
0:00:17
It's 2am. Once again, thank you for asking Charles. Yes, it's 2am. An uncommon time for me to be
3
0:00:17
0:00:26
drinking coffee. Well, it's a great effort on your part. Stephen has done well to bend your arm to
4
0:00:26
0:00:37
get you to speak to us live. So thank you. My absolute pleasure. Yeah. All right. Okay,
5
0:00:37
0:00:42
Tom to send you some more. Alex, okay, Tom to send you some more stuff on that.
6
0:00:46
0:00:52
I just returned to Monaco today. I drove from Croatia. Yeah. And my time there was so
7
0:00:52
0:00:59
distracting that I was going to call you on Saturday. I forgot. Don't worry. We'll catch
8
0:00:59
0:01:05
up. Yes. Next weekend, I'm by myself. I'm by myself now for two weeks. So I'll be able to
9
0:01:08
0:01:16
fix my life a little bit. Yeah. Alex and Aamon, do you know, you remember the collapse of
10
0:01:16
0:01:23
Bearings Bank? And maybe you remember the rogue trader in inverted commas. And his name was
11
0:01:26
0:01:31
Nick Leeson. Yes, Nick Leeson. Sorry, I said Liam Neeson.
12
0:01:31
0:01:38
Yeah. That's a spoonerism.
13
0:01:42
0:01:49
I'm sorry. I'm tired. So Nick Leeson, what did they, were they singling him out for a reason?
14
0:01:49
0:01:54
Because he was the only one blamed for the collapse of Bearings Bank. Yes, yes, yes. Him,
15
0:01:54
0:02:03
alone. Yeah. Why though? Well, you know, I, it hasn't crossed my mind to question that until
16
0:02:03
0:02:12
you just brought it up. Well, exactly. Yes. Okay. So I thought at the time it was weird because he
17
0:02:12
0:02:17
was kind of low ranking. He was an incredible trader. And we were told, I don't know whether
18
0:02:17
0:02:24
it's true that, was it Hong Kong or was it Singapore, that after the Koba earthquake,
19
0:02:25
0:02:31
he single-handedly kept the Japanese yen up because his reputation was so
20
0:02:31
0:02:38
massive. This is the, what we were fed or what I was fed, that people just followed him and
21
0:02:38
0:02:44
did what he did. So he single-handedly kept the Japanese yen up for a week after the Koba earthquake.
22
0:02:44
0:02:51
Yes, Stephen, that's possible, but it's unlikely. And, you know, I, at the time when this happened,
23
0:02:51
0:02:56
I didn't know to question these things. Now that you mention it, it needs to be questioned. And
24
0:02:56
0:03:02
I'll just add that there are no incredible traders. Okay. That's a myth and that doesn't exist.
25
0:03:02
0:03:07
That's a unicorn. Well, there we are then. So that was a story sold to us. Yeah. Yes. Yes. Yes.
26
0:03:07
0:03:13
Yes. Yes. Interesting. All right, everybody. Let's get this show on the road. By the way,
27
0:03:13
0:03:17
I think it was Barclays Bank, wasn't it? Not Bearing Bank? No, it was Bearing Bank.
28
0:03:18
0:03:24
Bearing Bank. 800 million was lost. Yeah. They blamed one guy, Nick Leeson.
29
0:03:25
0:03:32
That was a lot of money back then. Yeah, it was. Yeah. All right, Stephen, put your
30
0:03:33
0:03:40
put your video on so that we know that you're not in a black hole somewhere.
31
0:03:41
0:03:49
So everybody, welcome to Medical Doctors for COVID Ethics International. And today's discussion,
32
0:03:49
0:03:55
this group was founded by Dr. Stephen Frost. During the darkest days of the COVID scam responses
33
0:03:55
0:04:02
with a desire to pursue truth, ethics, justice, freedom and health. And I mentioned, I mentioned
34
0:04:02
0:04:11
earlier before the recording started, the Canadian priest, Arthur Paluski, who's facing
35
0:04:11
0:04:20
sentencing or pushing back against Canadian government overreach and facing 10 years in jail.
36
0:04:20
0:04:25
So we think of him. Stephen Frost has stood up against government and power over the years
37
0:04:25
0:04:30
and has been a whistleblower and activist. His medical specialty is radiology. I'm Charles
38
0:04:30
0:04:36
Covester, moderator of this group. I'm Australasia's passion provocateur. My jacket is red because red
39
0:04:37
0:04:43
is the color of passion. I practiced law for 20 years before changing career 30 years ago.
40
0:04:43
0:04:47
And over the last 12 years, I've helped parents and lawyers to strategize remedies for vaccine
41
0:04:47
0:04:54
damage and damage from bad medical advice. Last night, I was at dinner, another example of a 98
42
0:04:54
0:05:02
year old woman essentially killed by hospital in Melbourne because of appalling hospital treatment.
43
0:05:02
0:05:07
It's happening everywhere as many of us on this group know. I'm also the CEO of an industrial
44
0:05:07
0:05:13
hemp company. We comprise lots of professions, including doctors, lawyers, homeopaths, journalists,
45
0:05:13
0:05:18
scientists, filmmakers, professors, peacemakers and troublemakers, and with them all around the
46
0:05:18
0:05:25
world. Many of us thought the vaccines were okay. Now, many of us proudly say yes, we're passionate
47
0:05:25
0:05:31
anti-vaxxers and Judy Mikovits, who was on London Real over the weekend or on Friday
48
0:05:31
0:05:38
being interviewed by Brian Rose. If you watch that interview, it'll continue to inspire you to
49
0:05:38
0:05:44
never get jabbed. Judy Mikovits, I think Stephen has presented once or twice to us.
50
0:05:44
0:05:51
Twice, I think. I think twice. Twice, I think. If this is your first time here, welcome and feel free
51
0:05:51
0:05:57
to introduce yourself in the chat and where you're from. If you publish a newsletter or a podcast or
52
0:05:57
0:06:02
you have a radio or TV show or you've written a book, put the links into the chat so we can follow
53
0:06:02
0:06:06
you, promote you and find you. Most of us understand we're in the middle of World War III
54
0:06:06
0:06:11
and that there are various battle lines as part of this war. Most of us understand the development
55
0:06:11
0:06:18
of science and that the science is never settled. The meeting runs for two and a half hours
56
0:06:18
0:06:24
afterwards. For those with the time, Tom Rodman runs a video telegram meeting. Tom puts the links
57
0:06:24
0:06:30
into the chat if you're able to join. We will listen to Eamonn McKinney, our guest for as long
58
0:06:30
0:06:36
as Eamonn wishes to speak, and then we have Q&A and Stephen Frost, by a long established tradition,
59
0:06:36
0:06:41
ask the first questions. There's no censorship. It's a free speech environment with appropriate
60
0:06:41
0:06:48
moderating. Free speech is crucially important in our fight to preserve our human freedoms.
61
0:06:48
0:06:53
If you're offended by anything, be offended. We are genuinely not interested. We reject
62
0:06:53
0:06:57
the offense industry that requires nobody to say anything that may offend another.
63
0:06:58
0:07:05
We come with an attitude and perspective of love, not fear. Fear is the opposite of love. Fear
64
0:07:05
0:07:10
squashes you. Love, on the other hand, expands you. Governments around the world want you to be
65
0:07:10
0:07:17
fearful. This group is about helping you not to be fearful. If you have a solution or a product
66
0:07:17
0:07:23
or links or resources that will help people put the details into the chat, the meeting is recorded
67
0:07:23
0:07:29
and is uploaded onto the Rumble channel. And now welcome to Eamonn McKinney, our sinologist.
68
0:07:30
0:07:36
And thank you, Eamonn, for getting up at 2 a.m. in the morning. We're in Thailand. We thank you so
69
0:07:36
0:07:41
much for doing that and sharing your time, wisdom and insights. And thank you, Stephen Frost, again,
70
0:07:41
0:07:46
for creating this group and for organizing Eamonn and whoever got Eamonn to be with us.
71
0:07:46
0:07:56
Was that Alex Cramer, Stephen? Yeah, Alex suggested Eamonn and introduced you. Isn't that right, Eamonn?
72
0:07:58
0:07:59
You muted Eamonn.
73
0:07:59
0:08:03
Yes, Stephen, yeah, I think it was Alex who introduced us. Alex is a very good friend of mine.
74
0:08:03
0:08:12
He spoke to our group, I think, on three occasions already and everything he says, he thought.
75
0:08:13
0:08:19
Exactly. Alex knows everything. So thank you. Thank you, Alex. And so Eamonn, over to you and
76
0:08:20
0:08:22
would you like to share your screen or not?
77
0:08:22
0:08:28
Well, I haven't prepared anything, so I'll just speak if you don't mind.
78
0:08:30
0:08:34
Over to you. We're in your hands. We'll pay attention.
79
0:08:36
0:08:41
If you find yourself falling asleep, Eamonn, we can generate an argument to keep you awake.
80
0:08:42
0:08:48
Yeah, or if you see me slumping over the screen, I'll just say, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
81
0:08:48
0:08:52
Alex mentioned that China seems to be a subject that a lot of people won't hear about.
82
0:08:52
0:08:59
And I spent a good part of my life living in China going back to 1976.
83
0:08:59
0:09:04
I was there for a couple of years. I was there for five years, from 1980 to 1985.
84
0:09:04
0:09:07
We've had a business there, but I've never been there.
85
0:09:07
0:09:10
I've never been to China. I've never been to the US.
86
0:09:10
0:09:12
I've never been to the US. I've never been to the US.
87
0:09:12
0:09:14
I've never been to the US. I've never been to the US.
88
0:09:14
0:09:19
I've lived there for five years, from 1980 to 1985. We've had a business there ever since.
89
0:09:20
0:09:28
I don't envy people who have to speak on China. It's a very, very complicated subject.
90
0:09:28
0:09:31
If you haven't lived there, if you don't understand the culture,
91
0:09:32
0:09:37
if you haven't lived there and seen the transition, if you don't understand the
92
0:09:37
0:09:41
history and the influences, it's very difficult to comment on it.
93
0:09:42
0:09:47
When I was first in China, I was lucky enough to be introduced to the Puyichang
94
0:09:47
0:09:52
Ambassador, who was way back in the 70s, a wonderful man, David Wilson.
95
0:09:54
0:10:00
He said to me, if you're in China for a day, you could write a book. If you stayed a week
96
0:10:00
0:10:04
and you could manage a letter home, you'd be doing well. If you stayed any longer,
97
0:10:04
0:10:08
you couldn't put pen to paper. You absolutely wouldn't know where to start.
98
0:10:09
0:10:16
And it's a little bit like that. Now, China is a subject, let me just say this to you,
99
0:10:19
0:10:25
right now, approval of China. Basically, you can break most Westerners down into two parts,
100
0:10:26
0:10:29
those that hate China and those that have been there.
101
0:10:31
0:10:36
You'll get two entirely different versions of the place from both of those groups.
102
0:10:37
0:10:44
But before we start, firstly, I'm very honored to be invited to speak to your group. To my shame,
103
0:10:44
0:10:51
I had no knowledge of your existence until Alex pointed me to you. And I've looked at some of the
104
0:10:51
0:10:57
previous guests that you've had on, and I'm humbled to be in their presence when we say that.
105
0:10:57
0:11:05
And I applaud what you do. But to talk about China, I would assume that the common denominator
106
0:11:06
0:11:11
shared by most of the people on this group is that we don't believe the narrative. We don't
107
0:11:11
0:11:15
believe what the government says. We don't believe the mainstream media. Would that be a fair
108
0:11:15
0:11:22
assessment? We don't all agree on the same truths, but we can all see the same lie. I would assume
109
0:11:22
0:11:25
that's the case, yes. We don't trust government, no.
110
0:11:27
0:11:32
We don't trust the narrative. I mean, the narrative comes from more than just the government.
111
0:11:32
0:11:35
You know, the narrative comes from the system as a whole.
112
0:11:38
0:11:42
So here's a question. Has anybody living in the Western world
113
0:11:44
0:11:50
ever heard one complimentary positive word said about China? Ever?
114
0:11:50
0:11:55
Yes, Eamonn. I'm dealing with a guy who absolutely, an Australian guy who absolutely
115
0:11:55
0:12:01
raised how wonderful China is, and he's doing amazing cooking oil business. He's the only one.
116
0:12:01
0:12:08
He's got his hand up too. Okay, but he's not on ABC News now, is he? No.
117
0:12:08
0:12:18
No. All right. Okay. I've heard of some very good positive feedbacks. It's really to do with
118
0:12:18
0:12:25
Mongolia, where they are wanting to have cattle introduced into Mongolia. And lots of people are
119
0:12:25
0:12:32
saying very positive things about that. Yeah, well, thanks. That's a good point. I
120
0:12:32
0:12:38
wasn't actually aware of that. But what I want to try and do is to try and give you
121
0:12:40
0:12:46
a view on this from China's point of view. So to do that, you know, we've got to start asking ourselves,
122
0:12:46
0:12:55
where's all this hostility from China come from? I mean, you've all heard of China's century of shame.
123
0:12:55
0:13:02
The century of humiliation, which dates approximately from 1850 to 1950, when the
124
0:13:02
0:13:08
communists took power. There was a century of humiliation. That was a period of time when
125
0:13:08
0:13:17
China was weak under the Qing dynasty. And bear in mind China, for the previous count of several
126
0:13:17
0:13:23
years, has been the most advanced civilization in the world. The reason why the Opium Wars was
127
0:13:23
0:13:29
started was because the West was buying all manner of things from China, from technology,
128
0:13:29
0:13:37
the silks, the porcelains, the spices. And the West said absolutely nothing, but China wanted to buy
129
0:13:38
0:13:44
by any turn, and insisted on silver. Hence we had the Opium Wars, when the West decided that
130
0:13:44
0:13:51
they'd find something that China wanted, which was opium. Now, there was two Opium Wars. China
131
0:13:51
0:13:59
basically ended up being invaded and colonized by eight different foreign powers. During that
132
0:13:59
0:14:06
period of time, the Chinese retreated worse than slaves. Signs everywhere at the park in Shanghai.
133
0:14:07
0:14:15
No dogs, no Chinese. This was in China. What was humiliation? Humiliation was that the government
134
0:14:16
0:14:19
couldn't protect its people from these foreign powers.
135
0:14:20
0:14:27
Fathers couldn't protect their children from these foreign powers. That was the century
136
0:14:27
0:14:33
of humiliation. And they're not going to let it happen again. Now, what were these foreign powers?
137
0:14:34
0:14:42
Well, there was no strategic military interest in any of these empires to be in China. It was purely
138
0:14:42
0:14:49
the plunder of empire. You can see photographs in the early part of the 20th century with US Marines
139
0:14:49
0:14:54
guarding Rockefeller oil turbines. This was the century of shame.
140
0:14:56
0:15:02
The people that we're talking about, the Chinese identified in behind it, are the Western Imperial.
141
0:15:03
0:15:09
In fact, that's the Western Financial Empire. China's whole model
142
0:15:10
0:15:20
is built on protecting its people from the parasite class. Now, in the 1950s, the Communist
143
0:15:20
0:15:26
Party took power. The Ormeon Town, which was the oligarch Western friendly government,
144
0:15:27
0:15:32
did nothing to improve the lives of their people. They fled to Taiwan and the story continued.
145
0:15:34
0:15:40
In the 1900s now, the Qing Dynasty, the emperor was weak and was failing,
146
0:15:42
0:15:47
widely hated for his corruption among the Chinese people. And there was a Chinese
147
0:15:48
0:15:57
revolution coming, which happened in 1911. But what informed that? What informed what happened next?
148
0:15:58
0:16:04
Because the Chinese government were now saying that we need a new system of government. We need
149
0:16:04
0:16:13
a new way to run the country. The old imperial dynasty, that's a thing of the past. So they sent
150
0:16:13
0:16:20
their scholars all over the world to study different models. Now, one of those scholars,
151
0:16:21
0:16:30
Sun Yat-sen, or Sun Yat-sen as you would probably see him, he went to America and they liked the
152
0:16:30
0:16:39
republican ideal. They loved the Bill of Rights. They liked the constitution, mostly. There was a
153
0:16:39
0:16:45
lot they liked about the Lincolnian economic plan about using public funding to build things
154
0:16:45
0:16:55
like the Erie Canal. But what they saw was that their government also couldn't protect their own
155
0:16:55
0:17:05
people from the money power. They saw the incredible opulence in which the ruling classes,
156
0:17:05
0:17:11
the robber barons, etc. lived. And then they saw the squalor that people were living in the slums
157
0:17:11
0:17:19
of New York. But they saw that even in this republican system based on all these principles,
158
0:17:19
0:17:24
they still couldn't protect their people. And they were getting exactly the same thing
159
0:17:24
0:17:31
from the people that went to France and Britain to study their models when they went back. And they
160
0:17:31
0:17:37
said that they liked them about it, but it wouldn't work in China, your system of government. And
161
0:17:38
0:17:42
they said, well, why not? And they said, well, because four years is not going to be enough for
162
0:17:42
0:17:50
China. We've got a lost century to recover from. We've got a hundred year program. And that very
163
0:17:50
0:17:58
much is the thinking behind that. If you look at China's economic model, it's based on protecting
164
0:17:58
0:18:05
the people from that class. Now, if you look at the simple way of looking at economics,
165
0:18:06
0:18:10
is that you've always had two classes of people involved in economics through history.
166
0:18:11
0:18:15
You've had what they used to call the Rontier or the landlord class, and then you've got the
167
0:18:15
0:18:23
productive class. So the Rontier or the landlord class, they don't actually produce anything. They
168
0:18:23
0:18:32
live on the productivity of everybody else. So you've got that. Now, if you take the American
169
0:18:32
0:18:38
economy and you go back to 1970, about 80% of their GDP came from the productive sector,
170
0:18:38
0:18:47
manufacturing, agriculture, construction. Today, it's about 13%. But the parasite class that
171
0:18:48
0:18:53
produces nothing but lives on the productivity, they're sounding like a communist here, believe
172
0:18:53
0:19:02
me or not. This is how the Chinese look at it. That's what's eating all the Western economy.
173
0:19:02
0:19:06
The financial sector, again, the government is the biggest parasite, taking all your money and
174
0:19:06
0:19:14
produces nothing. The regulatory sector, which makes it incredibly expensive for companies just
175
0:19:14
0:19:20
to be in business, that makes it an unfair regulatory burden on smaller business and
176
0:19:20
0:19:27
favoring the multinationals. The medical industry, the insurance industry, all of that
177
0:19:27
0:19:36
is a parasite class, and it feeds on the product, on the productive class. Now in China, to restrain
178
0:19:38
0:19:45
the parasite class, they provide the public services. So they have public monopolies on
179
0:19:45
0:19:54
transportation, telecommunications, infrastructure, education, medical.
180
0:19:55
0:20:03
Now they provide the medical, but let me just say, none of these. They've got perfect private
181
0:20:03
0:20:08
hospitals in China with top surgeons, there's a lot of medical tourism there. But they've got public
182
0:20:08
0:20:15
hospitals, which anybody can go to for nothing. And then they've got a private sector if you want.
183
0:20:16
0:20:21
So the idea about doing that is about controlling the cost of living for the Chinese.
184
0:20:23
0:20:28
So that the essentials, if you like, the social Maslow's hierarchy of needs,
185
0:20:29
0:20:38
you know, etc. is all provided at cost. You know, or the sector is not there to lose money,
186
0:20:39
0:20:47
but profit is in its main tech. These are seen as the enablers of a healthy economy
187
0:20:47
0:20:54
and a healthy society. That's how it works. But the big thing is the public banking.
188
0:20:54
0:21:00
China doesn't have a Ross Charles Federal Bank. So its money is issued as public issuance,
189
0:21:01
0:21:06
not a debt based currency. And that is how their economy has managed to flourish.
190
0:21:07
0:21:11
And it enables them to do all these infrastructure projects.
191
0:21:12
0:21:17
China's model, because people kick around terms like socialism and communism,
192
0:21:17
0:21:25
they learned plenty from communism. They looked at the Soviet model. And what they realized was
193
0:21:25
0:21:32
the Marxist model is basically flawed in so many different ways. It's obsessed with the distribution
194
0:21:32
0:21:38
of wealth, completely missing the point that in order to distribute wealth, you have to first
195
0:21:38
0:21:45
create it. And the only thing that creates wealth is private enterprise. People do what they are
196
0:21:45
0:21:55
incentivized to do. So the Chinese economy is not a controlled, common economy. It's got a state
197
0:21:55
0:22:00
sector that enables the private sector. And that's where all the speed taking and growth in the
198
0:22:00
0:22:09
Chinese economy has come from. Now it's that mixed model, that mixed economic model that has
199
0:22:09
0:22:16
been proven to work. And that is why there are threats to the West. Because it's the complete
200
0:22:16
0:22:23
reverse of neoliberalism, which seeks to grow the economy from the top using some perverse,
201
0:22:24
0:22:32
trickle down logic. No, the Chinese model, the developmental model is about building the economy
202
0:22:32
0:22:39
from the ground up. Start with the poorest sectors of society, and then generates the wealth of
203
0:22:39
0:22:46
everybody. The real threat, what the West is working about in China, is not military. That's
204
0:22:46
0:22:54
complete nonsense. The fact is China is a bad example. Because all the countries that are now
205
0:22:54
0:22:59
falling in line under the brick and the Shanghai Corporation and the new currency and everything,
206
0:23:00
0:23:07
these economies are going to have to develop again. It's not going to be the neoliberal
207
0:23:07
0:23:11
privatized model that they're going to follow. They're going to follow the Chinese mixed economy
208
0:23:11
0:23:18
model. And this can work irregardless, irrespective of what kind of political economy,
209
0:23:18
0:23:26
what kind of political system you have. All it requires is stability. So that's the reason
210
0:23:26
0:23:31
why they're against the Chinese at the moment. They've always been against the Chinese.
211
0:23:33
0:23:39
When the communists threw out the capitalists and all their investment in 1950, even by the money
212
0:23:39
0:23:46
at those days, they lost billions and billions and billions. And what we know about the capitalist
213
0:23:46
0:23:52
classes, when they get shuttled, when they lose money, they have no sense of humour about it.
214
0:23:52
0:24:00
There's a thing called revenge capitalism. Look at Cuba. Bad examples have to be punished.
215
0:24:01
0:24:10
That's the animosity against China. That's where it comes from. It's historical. China's position
216
0:24:15
0:24:21
is not going to open up its capital market, bolting privatized, its state sector service,
217
0:24:21
0:24:28
public services. And that is a major threat. Because before this, there was really only one
218
0:24:28
0:24:34
gate in town. And God forbid you veered from it, you knew the consequences. This is the alternative.
219
0:24:34
0:24:42
This is the way this has been the ample about how a development economy should work. And it's been
220
0:24:42
0:24:49
taken up everywhere, in Africa, in Latin America, in other parts of Asia. And it's an unstoppable
221
0:24:49
0:24:57
force now. So I'll stop talking now. That's more than enough. And I'll be happy to answer
222
0:24:57
0:25:00
any questions that anybody has. I hope that made sense.
223
0:25:02
0:25:12
Amon, Amon, it did. And I'll just make the observation that, that for many people here,
224
0:25:12
0:25:17
for whom English is a second language, with your, with your Scottish accent, it was a great,
225
0:25:17
0:25:21
it was a great challenge for some of them. So they, they might have to go back and re-listen
226
0:25:21
0:25:27
to the recording. But you gave a wonderful overview. And I wrote down this distinction
227
0:25:27
0:25:36
between the landlord class and the productive class. And the, and the, what was it, the parasite
228
0:25:36
0:25:43
class and the- The productive class. The productive class. The landlord class.
229
0:25:43
0:25:51
It's the productive, the productive. Yeah, that's exactly it. And you, you, you see it.
230
0:25:52
0:25:57
That's not a Scottish accent, Charles. Is it, Amon?
231
0:26:00
0:26:04
No, it's not a Scottish. No, it's not a Scottish accent, Charles, no.
232
0:26:05
0:26:07
What accent is it, Amon?
233
0:26:07
0:26:14
It was, I suppose. Yeah, well, it was originally, I suppose, a London accent. But
234
0:26:14
0:26:19
it's been, I've troubled so much. I don't know what it is today. I'll try and speak a little
235
0:26:19
0:26:24
bit more clearly. My apologies to those of you out there who didn't catch it all.
236
0:26:26
0:26:29
Well, it was excellent. And, and Amon, one question, because Stephen goes first.
237
0:26:30
0:26:36
The, the, I saw a wonderful presentation. I've been wondering for a long time whether it's
238
0:26:36
0:26:44
accurate, that it's a very sophisticated model of how the leadership of, of Chinese government
239
0:26:44
0:26:51
is selected. It's not, you know, I had this idea that it was nepotism and linkages, but I read this,
240
0:26:51
0:26:57
I saw this other amazing presentation that, that it, to become a leader in China, you need
241
0:26:57
0:27:01
extraordinary experience before you get into that leadership category.
242
0:27:01
0:27:07
Yeah, well, the people that are in, well, that's absolutely right. It's very much a meritocracy.
243
0:27:09
0:27:17
I mean, I don't have to bandy the words around like tyrants. Well, no, it is very much a party
244
0:27:17
0:27:25
system. It is very much a meritocracy. I mean, the people that rise to central government level,
245
0:27:26
0:27:32
through the, usually through the local government, they are the best of the best. So,
246
0:27:33
0:27:38
this is a long tradition in China with this civil service. They're always attracted the
247
0:27:38
0:27:42
best and the brightest minds. And these were the Mandarin, that's where the word comes from,
248
0:27:44
0:27:52
who went to the provinces and, you know, installed administrative system. So they have a very, very
249
0:27:52
0:27:58
long history of having an effective civil service, but it's absolutely a meritocracy.
250
0:28:02
0:28:08
It's, if you like, to a certain extent, it's very much a technocracy. I know that's become a
251
0:28:08
0:28:15
dirty word in the West and an excellent fellow, Patrick Wood, who's done amazing work on that.
252
0:28:16
0:28:22
The EU, of course, is a classic case of a technocracy, as in fact,
253
0:28:23
0:28:30
of most of the UN agencies. But if you look at the political system that we have in the West
254
0:28:30
0:28:37
and the clouds that it throws up, I'm beginning to have second thoughts about it. I mean, in terms of,
255
0:28:38
0:28:43
in principle, a technocracy is you have the best and brightest people in the field being in charge
256
0:28:43
0:28:52
of government policy on it. Well, that's not a bad idea. In fact, the problem is who picks them
257
0:28:52
0:29:00
and who do they answer to? So, you know, people, for example, the people in America, press gang,
258
0:29:00
0:29:07
Robert Kennedy, to be the head of the Department of Health, they might actually see some changes.
259
0:29:07
0:29:15
So, but I'm digressing. So, yes, it's very much a meritocracy there.
260
0:29:16
0:29:21
People don't understand how the political system works and there's no democracy. Well,
261
0:29:23
0:29:29
I think you have to backtrack here. And why is the West, why the worst people in the world,
262
0:29:30
0:29:35
think about why they're always bleating on about democracy? Well, the reason is very simple. There's
263
0:29:36
0:29:41
no case in history where there was ever a democracy that didn't turn into an oligarchy
264
0:29:41
0:29:49
in 25 minutes. And oligarchs are easy to control. And if you look at the policy of China and
265
0:29:49
0:29:56
absolutely Russia defending their people against oligarchs, it's absolutely a very strong part of
266
0:29:56
0:30:02
their, you know, their doctrine. So when we're looking at,
267
0:30:07
0:30:12
I've kind of lost my train of thought there. It is very, very much a meritocracy. The people
268
0:30:12
0:30:17
that are running the country in China know what they're doing. So, Eamon, would you say that
269
0:30:17
0:30:24
the UK and the US for that matter are oligarchies? Because I have heard that word applied to the
270
0:30:24
0:30:33
United Kingdom. Well, oligarchies have been the cancer in human society since the days of Babylon.
271
0:30:35
0:30:41
So, yeah, of course, absolutely. I mean, England would be the classic case of that, you know,
272
0:30:41
0:30:52
with the city of London. I mean, it's essentially been that. And I mean, it has to be understood.
273
0:30:52
0:30:56
And I was referring when I was talking to Alex earlier about one of my good friends from
274
0:30:56
0:31:04
our group here and the talk that he did. And he stitched together like some amazing things. And
275
0:31:05
0:31:12
the point he made was that, you know, if you go back to 1900, he essentially had eight empires
276
0:31:12
0:31:19
of the world. The Virgin in Japanese Empire, which was the ageing, you had the Ottoman Empire,
277
0:31:19
0:31:29
which was on its last leaves. Today, he does one left. Now, if you go back prior to World War I,
278
0:31:29
0:31:35
you had some very powerful monarchies. You had the Russians, you had the Austro-Hungarians,
279
0:31:35
0:31:43
you had the Germans, and a version of it in France. World War I left us with one.
280
0:31:43
0:31:52
And that was the one that was owned by the city of London and has been since the days of the
281
0:31:52
0:31:59
Glorious Revolution in 1694. Okay, so it's always been an oligarchy. If you look at
282
0:32:00
0:32:07
how the whole system works, it controls everything now. There's no justice system
283
0:32:07
0:32:13
that isn't being penetrated by the Mason and the police and, you know, God knows we've seen that.
284
0:32:13
0:32:22
It's successful. There's no case in history where a democracy does not turn into an oligarchy.
285
0:32:25
0:32:31
What you end up with is what's actually called a synecone. Synecone means there's two forms of
286
0:32:31
0:32:35
government. There's the one that they put in front of you that you're supposed to believe,
287
0:32:35
0:32:41
and then there's the real one behind it. And that has been the case throughout history.
288
0:32:42
0:32:47
The reason why the bankers wanted to see the end of the other monarchies
289
0:32:48
0:32:53
because monarchies were the only people that stood up to the oligarchy and the financial system.
290
0:32:54
0:32:57
And you can find that at the roots of the English Civil War.
291
0:32:58
0:33:04
All right, when they come to the round heads on the road over Cromwell,
292
0:33:05
0:33:12
they were funded by the Dutch bankers. And part of the deal was when you win the war,
293
0:33:12
0:33:17
well, next time you capture Charles, his head comes off, he doesn't go back on the ground.
294
0:33:18
0:33:25
And also you will agree to apply the foundation of an independent city-state in the City of London
295
0:33:25
0:33:32
that answers to nobody. And that's been the case ever since. So you can find that everywhere.
296
0:33:32
0:33:36
Mm-hmm. I mean, the way they penetrated America,
297
0:33:38
0:33:43
they always intend on getting the American bank. Now, then Ross Charles could never operate in
298
0:33:43
0:33:50
America because they've been behind the two failed banks, first two failed banks in the United States.
299
0:33:51
0:33:56
The founding fathers in America were very well aware who they are, so they had connections.
300
0:33:56
0:34:05
And the revolutionary spirit in America made it very, very difficult. So what they do in the mid-1800s
301
0:34:05
0:34:13
is they begin to create a nobby garfield class who can destroy what was their democracy. So
302
0:34:13
0:34:17
therefore, if you look at all the people that became the robber barons, such as the Rockefellers,
303
0:34:18
0:34:25
the Harriman's in railway, the Vatna Belt and shipping, Parnay, E.D. and still,
304
0:34:26
0:34:32
they created these giant monopolies in the super billionaires, just like they're doing today with
305
0:34:32
0:34:36
their new constructs like Bill Gates and Zuckerberg and some of these other clouds.
306
0:34:37
0:34:44
These oligarchs actually corrupted the system before in February's earth in 1913. That's how
307
0:34:44
0:34:54
they work. That's how they penetrate through instigators. That's how they took Russia down
308
0:34:54
0:35:05
financially in 1990. The economy was completely destroyed and they funded oligarchs who presumably
309
0:35:05
0:35:14
were making $25 a week the months before. Now all of a sudden they're spending $500M
310
0:35:15
0:35:25
to buy Russian assets worth a billion. Putin controlled the oligarchs there and she has been
311
0:35:25
0:35:32
very careful to make sure it doesn't happen. I mean, you may recall there was a case a few years
312
0:35:32
0:35:42
ago about Jack Ma and Jack Ma was supposed to be the founder, the genius, the Chinese Bill Gates
313
0:35:42
0:35:50
behind Alibaba. In fact, he's a complete front man for the Jiang family out of Shanghai.
314
0:35:51
0:35:58
The Jiang family were a very old, powerful Chinese family that survived several generations. They
315
0:35:58
0:36:05
provided a couple of mares in Shanghai. Jiang Zemin was the premier of China in early 2000.
316
0:36:06
0:36:13
They're the real owners of that Alibaba empire. Xi's family, for example,
317
0:36:13
0:36:20
they own another empire called the Wanda Empire. There are different factions in China.
318
0:36:22
0:36:28
But Jack Ma, who's a front man for the Jiang family, and that's the Shanghai faction, Xi's
319
0:36:28
0:36:34
family with the Beijing family, so he comes out and criticizing the Chinese banking system.
320
0:36:36
0:36:39
He was told to go away, keep his mouth shut and enjoy his millions.
321
0:36:41
0:36:47
Because that's how it started. They've been very careful in China, also ensuring that the
322
0:36:47
0:36:51
tech giants that they have in China are not going that way either.
323
0:36:54
0:36:57
I'm digressing terribly. I don't know.
324
0:36:57
0:36:59
Hey, can I ask you a few questions?
325
0:37:00
0:37:00
Of course.
326
0:37:01
0:37:07
So can you explain? I don't know whether it's true, but we were told that Shanghai
327
0:37:07
0:37:16
first, I think, and Beijing had terrible lockdowns. Also, that Shanghai's port was,
328
0:37:17
0:37:24
I don't know what, I can't remember how this was achieved, but they had a thousand ships waiting
329
0:37:24
0:37:30
to discharge their cargoes at one stage. I don't know if you heard this where you are.
330
0:37:31
0:37:34
Well, no, I mean, absolutely.
331
0:37:34
0:37:41
First of all, is that true? Also, why? So allegedly, China was, or purportedly,
332
0:37:42
0:37:50
China was pursuing a no-Covid policy, you know, so they were having these lockdowns because of that.
333
0:37:50
0:37:54
But, you know, they were portrayed as brutal lockdowns. They'd got all these,
334
0:37:55
0:38:04
I saw children in those hazmat suits, is it? So was that propaganda from the West?
335
0:38:06
0:38:12
Two things. Firstly, look, I'm involved in business between China and the West. So yeah,
336
0:38:12
0:38:17
I mean, there was absolutely congestion at the ports and there was a lot of reason for that.
337
0:38:18
0:38:25
There was a lot of loaded ships that were in Shanghai that didn't leave because the port of
338
0:38:25
0:38:32
Los Angeles was essentially had thousands of ships because they had strikes and God knows what else.
339
0:38:32
0:38:36
So there was supply chain congestion everywhere.
340
0:38:37
0:38:38
Right. Disrupted supply, yeah, okay.
341
0:38:39
0:38:46
Yeah, so I mean, that was a consequence of it. No, the lockdowns there were hard and they went on
342
0:38:46
0:38:51
too long. I mean, it was kind of difficult to understand that. But the only thing that makes
343
0:38:51
0:38:57
sense to me for what seemed like an overreaction was, you've got to bear in mind, China has been,
344
0:38:58
0:39:06
you know, the subject of biological attacks twice. Once by the Japanese at Unit 639 in
345
0:39:07
0:39:12
Manchuria where they were experimenting, murdered hundreds of thousands of Chinese with all kinds
346
0:39:12
0:39:18
of blades. And then during the Korean War, biological weapons were dropped by the Americans.
347
0:39:19
0:39:25
They do know, and this is a fact that I've been assured by several people, they are working on
348
0:39:25
0:39:33
gene specific biological weapons. And they came out earlier in the Ukraine War, that's what they've
349
0:39:33
0:39:41
been experimenting on there with some of these things. So, you know, not being an apologist for
350
0:39:41
0:39:48
China with this. And I know you guys have covered COVID far more in depth than I'm qualified to do.
351
0:39:48
0:39:53
But I will tell you, when you see something like this happening, you always have to ask yourself,
352
0:39:53
0:40:00
very bono, who benefits? Nobody suffered with this more than China. China's whole business
353
0:40:00
0:40:10
model is based on all its trading partners being prosperous. Okay. This, you know, China was not
354
0:40:10
0:40:17
behind this, you know, Tony Fauci, I know David Martin, God bless him, the work that him and
355
0:40:18
0:40:21
a lot of other incredible people have done to explain it.
356
0:40:24
0:40:31
So, what I'm trying to say is, if it's a meritocracy, why did China go along with the false
357
0:40:31
0:40:37
narrative, which was so obvious to me and to many others? Well, okay, the majority didn't go along
358
0:40:37
0:40:43
with it. But I don't understand why they'd end up with this. They went further. They could end up
359
0:40:43
0:40:50
with a zero COVID policy. Well, it's just nonsense. Yeah. Most of the Chinese people agree to you,
360
0:40:51
0:40:57
because the Chinese people had enough of it, they actually abandon it. I can't answer that. That
361
0:40:57
0:41:06
still confounds me. But you guys, I'm sure, are here talking about all these different things,
362
0:41:06
0:41:14
because of COVID. I'm sure that's what instigated all this. Now, you cannot understand COVID unless
363
0:41:14
0:41:21
you understand where COVID fits in the bigger picture. Yeah. If you look at it, one step in...
364
0:41:23
0:41:29
So, actually, understanding the medical, the purported medical reason for the last three
365
0:41:29
0:41:34
and a half years was essential to destroying the narrative, the false narrative about other things
366
0:41:34
0:41:40
too, including China, it looks like. Yeah, well, yeah. I mean,
367
0:41:43
0:41:49
but if you remember, two days into the lockdowns, all the leaders of the Western
368
0:41:49
0:41:55
Wales were parroting the same thing, opportunity to build back better. Correct. So, we're 48 hours
369
0:41:55
0:42:03
into a lockdown, and they've all given up on the economy already. I mean, yeah. It was clearly a
370
0:42:03
0:42:09
planned global coup d'etat. Right. So, look, there's a lot of questions I can't answer to you
371
0:42:09
0:42:18
about China, but they created their own vaccines, they weren't mRNA, maybe they work, I really don't
372
0:42:18
0:42:26
know. The whole thing to me is, from a technical point of view, I think that's a discussion with
373
0:42:26
0:42:32
more qualified people, you know, I imagine you've heard it. Can I ask you about,
374
0:42:33
0:42:40
what's the importance of the middle class in society? So, what I've heard is that it's
375
0:42:40
0:42:45
important, the middle class, I never understood this, but recently I've come to understand,
376
0:42:45
0:42:52
but maybe I'm wrong, that the middle class is important because it's... So, in a, you know,
377
0:42:52
0:42:58
most countries in the world, like in Africa in particular, but even in South America,
378
0:42:58
0:43:02
you've got the oppressed and you've got the oppressors with a rather small middle class,
379
0:43:04
0:43:10
and in Africa, probably in some countries, at least no middle class. So, and the alleged
380
0:43:10
0:43:20
importance of that is that you have relatively disinterested middle class, who are neither,
381
0:43:20
0:43:26
they neither want to be oppressors nor be oppressed. So, allegedly that's a reason for
382
0:43:26
0:43:33
middle class, and I just wondered what you understand by the word middle class or words
383
0:43:33
0:43:42
middle class or that term. Are you talking about in the West? Yeah, so the alleged importance of
384
0:43:42
0:43:49
the middle class is that it's a check on the elites, if you like, the oppressors.
385
0:43:49
0:43:57
Yeah, and then... Okay, yeah. Sorry. Well, if you, if you... Firstly, if you, we take America,
386
0:43:57
0:44:05
for example, there's a very strong case that the middle class in America arose by accident.
387
0:44:05
0:44:12
It wasn't intended. If you look at the end of World War II, the whole world was completely
388
0:44:12
0:44:17
flattened, and the only place they had in the industry was America, which was untouched,
389
0:44:17
0:44:22
and it had all this huge wartime industry that has now been turned over to productive use.
390
0:44:23
0:44:29
They were flooding the world with dollars under the Marshall Plan so that all foreign companies
391
0:44:29
0:44:36
could buy American goods. There was really nowhere else to buy them. So, the demand for labor
392
0:44:38
0:44:46
outstripped the supply, and that was essentially the first time between, say, 1945 and 1917,
393
0:44:46
0:44:55
where the working man had any negotiating power to get a fair deal. Prior to the war,
394
0:44:55
0:45:06
they had the 1930s, and the 1920s were a few people made out. So, the middle class, in any
395
0:45:07
0:45:15
real sense, was created then. So, between that, take a guy, he'd worked on the production line
396
0:45:15
0:45:22
in Detroit. His household debt was virtually nil. He didn't have any credit cards. His wife didn't
397
0:45:22
0:45:28
work. His kids went to school. His wife had a car. He had a pension. He had medical, and he probably
398
0:45:28
0:45:36
had a little cabin up by the lake. In the 1970s, and this coincides a little with the
400
0:45:45
0:45:50
so you saw a transformation. You're breaking up a little bit. I don't know. Oh, I beg your pardon.
401
0:45:50
0:45:57
So, what you saw then was that was actually the beginning of American's deindustrialization,
402
0:45:59
0:46:06
where you saw the growth of the financial sector and the demise of the productive sector.
403
0:46:07
0:46:16
So, but if you understand the big agenda towards a totalitarian government, it is very much Marxism.
404
0:46:19
0:46:23
This takes us in a different area, but I mean, if you listen to Klaus Schwab,
405
0:46:23
0:46:26
you'll have nothing, you'll know nothing, you'll be happy, and all this other, doesn't that sound
406
0:46:26
0:46:33
exactly like communism? Now, I know that sounds counterintuitive. I mean, why would the Ross
407
0:46:33
0:46:39
Charles New Yorker fellows want communism? So, we've got to stop thinking about it like that.
408
0:46:39
0:46:46
It's a model for totalitarian control to make sure that you have nothing and I have everything. Now,
409
0:46:49
0:46:55
this is a whole area. It's kind of taken us in, but what you're seeing now is this cultural
410
0:46:55
0:47:03
Marxist agenda. That was first introduced to America in the 1950s. Now, the cultural
411
0:47:03
0:47:12
Marxists were the fainthearted school and Marxism in many ways, you've got to understand, as Alex
412
0:47:12
0:47:20
talks about the parasite of the financial sector and how it moves and it devours a host and it
413
0:47:20
0:47:28
moves on. To a certain extent, Marxism was like that. It devoured the Russian host
414
0:47:31
0:47:37
and then it turned its eyes on the West. Now, you can talk for hours on the fainthearted school,
415
0:47:37
0:47:46
but these were cultural Marxists. They teach critical theory. If you want to understand all
416
0:47:46
0:47:52
this LBTG nonsense that's going on, you have to understand the Frankfurt School.
417
0:47:52
0:47:58
Most people look at this insanity and it's like, well, this is the house growth of good intentions
418
0:47:58
0:48:08
going crazy. No, it's not. It is a cultural Marxist agenda. In the 1850s, there was revolutions
419
0:48:08
0:48:14
tried by the Marxists all over Europe and they failed. The reason why they failed, the conclusion
420
0:48:14
0:48:20
they came to was, well, the people in the West are not going to lower their standards of living.
421
0:48:20
0:48:27
They're not going to go in for communism because they're too comfortable, which was true. The way
422
0:48:27
0:48:35
they were going to do it was to attack it through culture and that is what we're seeing now. Now,
423
0:48:36
0:48:44
cultural Marxism, don't joke because it's essentially the operating system of the EU.
424
0:48:45
0:48:55
If you look at the policies of Justin Trudeau, if you look at any of these European countries
425
0:48:55
0:49:03
and to an extent America, these are the policies that are following. Now, the cultural Marxism is
427
0:49:08
0:49:13
autographs
428
0:49:27
0:49:27
Genderism
429
0:49:33
0:49:42
to save the climate. That was set in the 1970s. The culmination of it that we're trying to sell
430
0:49:42
0:49:49
now is Agenda 2030 and that's their final push for the New World Order. But it isn't going to work
431
0:49:50
0:49:51
unless everybody...
432
0:49:56
0:49:58
Sorry, Eamon, you're breaking up, unfortunately.
433
0:49:58
0:50:08
And now you've gone. Oh no, you're there. Sorry, you're muted though. You're muted, Eamon.
434
0:50:11
0:50:20
So the cultural Marxism is essential, okay, to buy this climate bullshit. And the only people
435
0:50:20
0:50:25
buying it are these like these desks with Greta and the greens and everything like that.
436
0:50:26
0:50:32
Now that's been pushed through. The cultural Marxism agenda, they had programs like the
437
0:50:32
0:50:38
Long March through the institutions, how they were going to penetrate government education.
438
0:50:38
0:50:44
That's where we are today, okay. And you'll see the same thing in America, you know.
439
0:50:46
0:50:52
They will call themselves lefties if anything, but okay, they're cultural Marxists and they
440
0:50:52
0:50:57
don't even understand it. So I would encourage everybody, if you want to understand this,
441
0:50:57
0:51:06
to go and study the Frankfurt School. It's one of the most evil things and it's messing up
442
0:51:06
0:51:12
generations of kids who are going to need to be deprogrammed. But not just that, Simon. So
443
0:51:12
0:51:21
it's cultural Marxism which has one of its techniques to destroy the families, wouldn't
444
0:51:21
0:51:29
you say? Well, no, that's exactly the point. The point about Marxism, cultural or otherwise,
445
0:51:30
0:51:37
is it's about the critical theory. It's about destroying everything, literally bringing
446
0:51:37
0:51:47
everything back to near zero. So if you look at this cultural Marxist agenda, I hesitate to
447
0:51:47
0:51:53
call them the lefties because that's actually a contradiction in terms of everything is critical,
448
0:51:53
0:51:59
critical race theory, critical sexism theory, critical, everything is critical. They're not
449
0:51:59
0:52:06
actually for anything. It's designed to produce generations of unhappy, miserable kids who can't
450
0:52:06
0:52:14
see any future. And tell me that is what we're seeing. The gender, this fourier and this
451
0:52:14
0:52:20
trans thing, this is all part of it. If you look at the history of the Frankfurt School and their
452
0:52:20
0:52:33
involvement in Berlin in the days leading up to World War I, they were pushing sexual degeneracy,
453
0:52:33
0:52:43
paedophilia and everything. One of Hitler's things was about decency and German values and
454
0:52:43
0:52:49
everything like that. So they didn't have any future and they left in the early days of Hitler.
455
0:52:50
0:52:56
Most of the German people had still strong Christian values. They were very much associated.
456
0:52:56
0:53:00
So when you see these photographs of the book written in Germany,
457
0:53:04
0:53:10
it was pornography. Sorry, can you say that again, Eamon? We lost few of them.
458
0:53:11
0:53:22
That's what that was about. Yes, I'm not sure how far back you want me to go, but when you look at
459
0:53:22
0:53:29
these images of book burning in Germany, one of the German people were burning was pornography.
460
0:53:29
0:53:38
Interesting. Now you've frozen, Eamon.
461
0:53:44
0:53:53
You'll come back. No, he's gone now. Yeah, he's been well. Yeah, we will wait. We will. This is,
462
0:53:53
0:53:58
everybody, this is the meditation moment. John Bodwin, no going to sleep.
463
0:53:58
0:54:06
Oh, Eamon's here. I'm going to get attacked for talking for too long. And it's you talking,
464
0:54:06
0:54:16
so can I just ask you? So it seems to me that the cultural Marxism which you talk about is
465
0:54:16
0:54:24
it's not exactly a Trojan horse, but it's a means by which they push through Trojan horses, correct?
466
0:54:29
0:54:37
So it kind of weakens the individual. It creates confusion. Oh, you've gone now completely.
467
0:54:39
0:54:40
No, he's here. No, you're still there.
468
0:54:46
0:54:56
You're muted, Eamon. Sorry, you're muted. I'm sorry, I seem to be dropping in and out here.
469
0:54:56
0:55:04
I'm not sure where. I'm going to turn my camera off. Yes, I might help. Okay. Sorry. So you can
470
0:55:04
0:55:10
hear me, but you can't see me, right? Correct. But at least we can hear you. Okay, jolly good.
471
0:55:11
0:55:18
So I was wondering whether the cultural Marxism which you speak of is a technique
472
0:55:19
0:55:26
rather than a Trojan horse to push through the Trojan horses. So in this case, the COVID nonsense,
473
0:55:26
0:55:33
the Russia war and the climate change nonsense. Is that right?
474
0:55:33
0:55:43
Is that right? So I mean, what the final push, and this has basically been their plan since the
475
0:55:43
0:55:50
70s, to use climate as the push for the new world order. Now, we can talk about new world order now
476
0:55:50
0:55:55
and people don't think you're crazy. I mean, they've been to the, you can go back 100 years
477
0:55:55
0:56:02
and see H.G. Wells and the round table talking about that. So a lot of people have been aware
478
0:56:03
0:56:08
for a long time, but nobody really knew what it was going to look like. Well, it's the UN,
479
0:56:08
0:56:14
that's always been the case. Not the security council, but you look at all these different
480
0:56:15
0:56:21
UN bodies. Now the World Health Organization is probably the best example that we could speak
481
0:56:21
0:56:27
about here. Look who's funding it, look who's writing the policies. Okay. Now that goes across
482
0:56:27
0:56:38
so many UN agencies, a couple of sorts of things, food, aid, medical, education. These are the Trojan
483
0:56:38
0:56:44
horses. These are the do-gooders, okay, who don't know what they're doing, who are carrying out
484
0:56:44
0:56:50
these plans. The new world order is never going to be some big castle on the mountain with Klaus
485
0:56:50
0:57:01
Robb. This is what it looks like. Agenda 2030 is their final push. They're all in. There's no plan
486
0:57:01
0:57:14
B. Agenda 2030 has 17 ESG goals, all driven by this climate emergency. How many of these ESG goals
487
0:57:14
0:57:25
do you think actually mention the climate? One, try and reduce CO2. The rest of them are of our
488
0:57:25
0:57:31
institute in cultural Marxism and getting all these countries to surrender their sovereignty
489
0:57:31
0:57:39
on a number of different things to government agents. Gender politics, privatizing and
490
0:57:40
0:57:45
industrializing. None of it's got a damn thing to do with climate, which nobody believes.
491
0:57:46
0:57:54
Now, you could trace this back. It's very clear where you look at who's behind all this. Every
492
0:57:54
0:58:00
country in the world understands it. It isn't going to work. It isn't going to work because
493
0:58:00
0:58:07
you can see the tide of history is turning now. The arrogance that they had when they came up with
494
0:58:07
0:58:12
this plan, they didn't see the internet, they didn't see the awakening, they didn't see the
495
0:58:12
0:58:18
growth of China and Russia as real obstacles. They didn't see any of this, and yet they're pushing
496
0:58:18
0:58:26
through on that. Everybody understands what it's about. Nobody's going to go along with it. The
497
0:58:26
0:58:32
only countries that are going to go along with it, which is destitute, are the Western world.
498
0:58:32
0:58:40
They will go along with this absurdity to a point, but nobody else in the world is going to go along
499
0:58:40
0:58:48
with it. It's absolutely doomed to fail. There isn't even a case for it unless you can get China,
500
0:58:48
0:58:55
India, Russia to go along with it, and it's not happening. It's not happening.
501
0:58:55
0:59:07
Absolutely. So, shall we have some questions from the audience? Where are you, Eamon? I can't see
502
0:59:07
0:59:18
you now. I've got my camera. Absolutely. So, Charles? Yes, I'm here. Okay, Eamon, we've got you
503
0:59:18
0:59:25
loud and clear. All right, let's go to other questions. Janet, you first, then Marvin.
504
0:59:33
0:59:40
Hi, thank you. It's just a brief question. A lot has been said about surveillance in China
505
0:59:41
0:59:47
and the alleged social credit system, and I'm just wondering what are actually the facts about these
506
0:59:47
0:59:58
on the ground? My apologies. I'm just back with you now. You're dropping in and out. I'm sorry.
507
1:00:00
1:00:04
Did you hear the question, Eamon? I'm afraid I didn't. If I could ask Janet to repeat it.
508
1:00:05
1:00:12
Thank you. A lot has been said about surveillance in China and the alleged social credit system,
509
1:00:12
1:00:18
and I'm wondering what are actually the facts on the ground regarding these? Okay, well, everything
510
1:00:18
1:00:26
that you've heard, Janet, about the social credit system is pretty much nonsense. You know, China's
511
1:00:28
1:00:34
it's a very, well, it's very technically advanced in as much, I mean, the last time I was in China,
512
1:00:34
1:00:40
you couldn't spend a dollar, use a credit card. Everything is payment by QR codes, which everybody
513
1:00:40
1:00:50
finds convenient. So, no, I mean, I'll tell you the truth. The last time I was in China was just
514
1:00:50
1:00:57
before COVID. And I had some clients over from America and they hadn't been to China before.
515
1:00:57
1:01:02
One of the guys said, my sister's a cop. If we saw a cop, I think I'd get a photograph of her.
516
1:01:02
1:01:07
So I said, sure. We traveled all over China. We were there 10 days. We never saw a cop.
517
1:01:07
1:01:15
So it's a very well ordered society. It's one of the safest countries in the world. It was in a
518
1:01:15
1:01:23
street in China where somebody wouldn't be safe to walk down. But Janet, I'll tell you, a very
519
1:01:23
1:01:28
good friend of mine, Matt Errett, who's known to the group, will be back on in a couple of weeks.
520
1:01:28
1:01:34
And he's done some excellent work on that to disprove it. But I will tell you, please don't
521
1:01:34
1:01:38
believe anything that you hear about what they're telling you what's going on in China. That's
522
1:01:40
1:01:48
not true. Damon, you said something then. So I know you're in Thailand. So you're saying things
523
1:01:48
1:01:54
that my MP said to me, I think it was my MP said to me recently in a letter, the first letter for
524
1:01:54
1:02:00
about two years, about central bank digital currencies. And he was telling me how convenient
525
1:02:00
1:02:08
it would be for everyone. I think I'm quoting the letter correctly or the sense of it anyway.
526
1:02:08
1:02:14
And I said to my son, well, I think that's for me to decide whether it's convenient for me
527
1:02:14
1:02:22
not to be told that it's convenient for everyone. So I think it so you probably don't hear this,
528
1:02:22
1:02:31
you see. So in Thailand, but so what I'm trying to say is this, what really is scary for me,
529
1:02:31
1:02:38
I've met a few Chinese people in Sweden and in the UK, and they do seem to be kind of, they don't.
530
1:02:39
1:02:45
So a little bit different. Now, it could be cultural, you know, a lot of respect and all that,
531
1:02:45
1:02:50
you know, but too much respect, I would say. And maybe, you know, the meritocracy,
532
1:02:51
1:02:56
which governs China, they kind of, it's really top down, you know, and there's massive respect
533
1:02:56
1:03:04
for the meritocracy. So now I'm just wondering, so I don't understand. It does seem to be the case
534
1:03:04
1:03:10
that they use these same arguments, you know, that are always convenient for everyone, therefore,
535
1:03:10
1:03:16
will instituted for everybody. Is that true or not? Because we don't like being told what to do
536
1:03:16
1:03:24
on this group, you see. I apologize. I've just come back in, Stephen. What were you asked? Could
537
1:03:24
1:03:30
you ask me that again? I'm so sorry. Yeah. Could you make that question one sentence, please?
538
1:03:31
1:03:36
Yeah. So, um, oh, it's pity you missed it. How much have you heard of it, Eamon? Have we got to say
539
1:03:36
1:03:41
the whole lot again? The question was about like the digital currency, I believe. Yeah. So what
540
1:03:41
1:03:49
worries me when I hear you answering, Janet, you said it's convenient for everybody. We pay for
541
1:03:49
1:03:55
everything by QR codes. Well, sorry, I don't like QR codes because I think it's a tool of totalitarianism.
542
1:03:55
1:04:04
I'm just asking you about this now. I'm not falling out with you. Um, well, first and foremost,
543
1:04:04
1:04:11
for disclosure, I'm a guy that doesn't own a cell phone. I don't have a phone. I don't use any social
544
1:04:11
1:04:17
media. So you can see where I'm coming from with this. The Chinese who use the digital currency
545
1:04:17
1:04:24
don't think it's a means of government control. They think it's convenient. That's the point.
546
1:04:25
1:04:32
Isn't it a means of government control in China? Well, yeah, I mean, it's one of them. Yes. But
547
1:04:33
1:04:39
look, can I back this conversation now? Everybody seems to be so terrified of China. Um,
548
1:04:41
1:04:48
no, we're not terrified of China. We don't want totalitarianism.
549
1:04:49
1:04:55
Well, look, they don't have totalitarianism in China. Chinese people can go where they want.
550
1:04:55
1:04:59
They can leave the country. They can buy a house. In fact, house ownership there is
551
1:05:00
1:05:10
in the high eighties. Okay. They've got complete freedom. Now, if you look at people in the West,
552
1:05:10
1:05:16
okay, I will, I will make the point that people in China have got more freedom than people in
553
1:05:16
1:05:22
the West. That's a long argument. I don't want to get into it with you. Okay. Well, that's absolutely
554
1:05:22
1:05:33
a fact. Right. So none of their freedoms are represented, but we will never know what kind
555
1:05:33
1:05:39
of an open and free society China would have been had it not been under relentless assault from the
556
1:05:39
1:05:47
West for the last 70 years around all its borders and it's carrying on today. So, but the main thing
557
1:05:48
1:05:55
what it is, there's China, everything about China has a uniqueness to it. It's all always got
558
1:05:55
1:06:02
Chinese characteristics and specific to Chinese culture, Chinese society, things that you might
559
1:06:02
1:06:07
find offensive or perfectly normal to the Chinese. And there's lots of things that we take for
560
1:06:07
1:06:17
granted that they don't like. Okay. So highly functional society. And there was not one thing
561
1:06:17
1:06:23
that China was doing to try and influence people outside its borders. So if we agree with the
562
1:06:23
1:06:29
concept of national sovereignty and don't even fear what, you know, now there's where I live here
563
1:06:29
1:06:36
on Thailand, there's an enormous community of expats. All of us agree. We don't talk about the
564
1:06:36
1:06:40
Thai government. We're guests in this country. It's none of our business. We're great. We're
565
1:06:40
1:06:46
grateful for their hospitality. We all pretty much feel like that. We shouldn't be interfering in
566
1:06:46
1:06:53
other people's countries. So what is happening in China, that's up to them. What we need a
567
1:06:53
1:07:01
focus on is what's China's role in the world? How does it behave in the world? That's the key issue.
568
1:07:01
1:07:07
When they start talking about problems in China, it strikes you from that.
569
1:07:08
1:07:11
So, but, Eamon, we're not worried about China.
570
1:07:12
1:07:17
Steven, we're going to have to stack your hands up. Yeah, yeah, go ahead. Go ahead, please.
571
1:07:21
1:07:25
Very quickly, Eamon, we're not worrying about what the Chinese are imposing on us.
572
1:07:25
1:07:28
No, no, I do understand that.
573
1:07:36
1:07:41
Yeah, okay. Well, they're trying to say it's a Chinese model. It isn't. Now, they do things
574
1:07:41
1:07:48
in China, okay, but they're not necessarily doing them for the same reasons. So the CBDC and the
575
1:07:48
1:07:54
payment systems in China, they're not doing them for the same reason that they're trying to implement
576
1:07:54
1:08:04
in the West. That's the first thing to understand. These payment systems, and again, look, I'm not
577
1:08:04
1:08:11
advocating for them. I don't use them. Like I said, I don't have a phone. But in terms of moving the
578
1:08:11
1:08:18
economy along, where it's peer to peer, where even in a taxi, you put your two phones together,
579
1:08:18
1:08:24
and all of a sudden he's paid, it's in his bank account. It's not checks and three days banking
580
1:08:24
1:08:29
and the bank taking a piece of the transaction. That makes a lot of sense. Logically, if you're
581
1:08:29
1:08:35
not worried about the surveillance and control that goes with it, makes a lot of sense.
582
1:08:36
1:08:41
Yeah, we're not worried about that, Eamon, after the last three and a half years. That's just
583
1:08:41
1:08:44
the point. Anyway.
584
1:08:45
1:08:50
Mike, come on. We're going to Marvin. Marvin, over to you.
585
1:08:50
1:08:59
Hey, Eamon, I went to China 15 years ago. I was in Beijing for three weeks, and I found this myth
586
1:08:59
1:09:07
of the Chinese devaluing women and girls to be completely exploded. They seemed to run the culture.
587
1:09:08
1:09:09
Could you talk about that in a little?
588
1:09:09
1:09:15
Yeah, well, anybody that says that has never met a Chinese woman.
589
1:09:18
1:09:23
Yeah, well, even Chairman Mao said women hold up the sky. I mean,
590
1:09:25
1:09:33
women occupy top posts in all corporations and every walk of government. It's one of the more
591
1:09:33
1:09:40
egalitarian places you'll ever see in that regard. But if anybody thinks that Chinese women are these
592
1:09:40
1:09:48
like shrinking violets, they've never met any. So, yeah, it's a good observation, Marvin. But I
593
1:09:48
1:09:53
guarantee you, like I said at the beginning, there's two kinds of people, those that hate China
594
1:09:54
1:09:56
and those that have been there. So.
595
1:09:56
1:10:10
Just to briefly interject, just to say that certainly in the area where I live in West Wales,
596
1:10:10
1:10:17
the there's a big Chinese community in relation to the university. And I must say, they all seem
597
1:10:17
1:10:24
very obedient in terms of persistent mask wearing, even when they were out, you know, on a day out on
598
1:10:24
1:10:29
a fishing boat in the middle of the sea, they're still wearing their masks. So there seems to just
599
1:10:29
1:10:36
seem to be an element of kind of obedience amongst the Chinese, which, you know, maybe is a little bit
600
1:10:36
1:10:42
assaultive of what you were suggesting. I wouldn't disagree with that, Janet. I mean,
601
1:10:42
1:10:50
if you understand how their culture works and the sort of Confucian model, that is, that is, I mean,
602
1:10:50
1:10:57
it's not that there isn't a rebellious spirit, but you really have to understand Confucianism.
603
1:10:57
1:11:04
But I have to tell you, this obsession with masks was consistent throughout Asia, because Asians,
604
1:11:04
1:11:11
you know, in big cities, you know, they're used to wearing masks, you know, for reasons
605
1:11:12
1:11:20
unassociated to COVID. So yeah, I mean, the Chinese are the Chinese, but, you know,
606
1:11:20
1:11:25
I'm trying to explain really why there's so much animosity towards them. And, you know,
607
1:11:25
1:11:31
whenever you think about the Chinese, they are not the problem, you know, in the world today.
608
1:11:31
1:11:33
And so they have questions.
609
1:11:35
1:11:40
No, Lou, hang on, hang on. No, Marvin, you're done. Lou, put your hand up.
610
1:11:42
1:11:47
Marvin, excellent, excellent point, who is actually in charge. And people thought Julius
611
1:11:47
1:11:52
Caesar was in charge, but clearly 2000 years ago, it was his wife who was in charge. So there you are.
613
1:11:55
1:11:58
Yeah, Caesar's wife must be beyond reproach.
614
1:12:03
1:12:12
Okay, I'm at bat here. Yeah, I have, I want to change the subject a bit to something broader,
615
1:12:13
1:12:19
which is this monumental shift that's taking place right now on the planet,
616
1:12:20
1:12:28
which is led by China and partially by Russia, the represented in the Shanghai
617
1:12:28
1:12:35
Cooperation Organization and the BRICS, which are planning to join together.
618
1:12:36
1:12:47
They'll be meeting in Johannesburg next month. And in that context, and I think this is a response
619
1:12:47
1:12:55
to the threat of the Western controlled New World Order. You see, there is a New World Order
620
1:12:55
1:13:03
taking place, but it's on quite a different basis. And I just listened last night to an interesting
621
1:13:04
1:13:16
interview by a Lebanese podcaster of a couple of Africans talking about the Belt and Road
622
1:13:16
1:13:23
Initiative in Africa. And I wanted to get your comments about the Belt and Road Initiative, but
623
1:13:23
1:13:30
what they were describing was something that is completely different than the Western model of
624
1:13:30
1:13:39
exploitation in Africa. And one of the interviewees pointed out that the West has had 400 years
625
1:13:39
1:13:46
to improve conditions in Africa. They've had 400 years to get the job done. And they've done
626
1:13:46
1:13:54
nothing but exploit African resources and African labor. And I would carry that right up through
627
1:13:54
1:13:59
the Clinton and Obama administrations in this country, which have done horrible things.
628
1:14:00
1:14:07
Obama destroyed the most highly developed country in Africa, which was Libya, had
629
1:14:09
1:14:17
universal healthcare, universal government paid higher education, no homelessness, etc.
630
1:14:17
1:14:25
And a gold bank currency that Gaddafi was planning to expand to a pan-African currency.
631
1:14:26
1:14:32
And of course, he had to be murdered and his whole country had to be destroyed. And that's the way
632
1:14:32
1:14:39
we in the West operate. And these two people from Africa were describing this totally different
633
1:14:39
1:14:48
model that China is using, which is a very respectful model and a very reciprocal model.
634
1:14:49
1:14:54
They go in and they say, okay, well, you have a lot of resources in this continent that we
635
1:14:54
1:15:05
would like to have. And so we have a lot of technological capacity and it's tit for tat.
636
1:15:05
1:15:12
We will trade you the things you need for the things that we need. And they experience it as
637
1:15:12
1:15:20
a very respectful and reciprocal kind of development. So they're building airports,
638
1:15:20
1:15:27
they're building public structures, they're providing all these things, highways,
639
1:15:28
1:15:39
etc. that Africa needs. And the Africans in turn are assisting them in providing us
640
1:15:40
1:15:46
the raw materials that we need, the minerals and oil, especially all the mineral resources for our
641
1:15:47
1:15:54
microelectronics industries. And there's an attitude there, which I see is basically
642
1:15:54
1:16:02
a communist kind of ethic. Let's all work together. Let's make sure that everybody benefits
643
1:16:02
1:16:08
and nobody is exploiting anybody else. And that's what their experience of the Belt and Road Initiative
644
1:16:08
1:16:13
in Africa is. So anyway, I wonder if you could comment on that whole development.
645
1:16:17
1:16:20
What was the first one again? Jack, I have to say,
646
1:16:23
1:16:27
I agree absolutely with everything that you've just said. That's pretty much it.
647
1:16:30
1:16:36
It is a completely and totally different attitude. It's a completely different approach.
648
1:16:37
1:16:44
When you say to people in the West that the Chinese approach is on mutual benefit and a
649
1:16:44
1:16:50
win-win situation, it's generally regarded with a certain amount of scepticism.
650
1:16:52
1:17:01
It seems like a Canadian concept that somebody isn't exploiting somebody else. But
651
1:17:04
1:17:09
I'll tell you a story. I mean, what brought me to Asia as a young man in the first place was
652
1:17:09
1:17:15
martial arts. That was my obsession at the time. It was my excuse for being in China the first time.
653
1:17:17
1:17:22
So I knew about the Art of War, which is a 26-year-old book written by Sun Tzu,
654
1:17:22
1:17:30
we call it, Leo. It's 36 principles for conflict. I never heard it mentioned in China. In fact,
655
1:17:30
1:17:37
I never really paid any attention to it until 79 when I was at business school for a year in Chicago.
656
1:17:39
1:17:47
It was everywhere. Required reading on every MBA course. The Art of War, the Art of War with
657
1:17:47
1:17:54
business, the Art of War with marketing. I never really paid much attention to it. Then I was back
658
1:17:54
1:18:06
there in 80 to 85 and I began to realize that it is actually there. Subsequently, I think,
659
1:18:07
1:18:17
because my pair was the project management for foreign companies in China. Every one of them
660
1:18:17
1:18:19
was based on a win-win principle. It couldn't work any other way.
661
1:18:20
1:18:28
So this dog-eat-dog zero-sum game, the pie is only so big, it's almost like the Wall Street
662
1:18:28
1:18:32
Trader mentality where every winner's got a loser.
663
1:18:37
1:18:39
We've lost you, Eamonn.
664
1:18:45
1:18:46
Oh, you're back again.
665
1:18:48
1:18:57
I'm back again. I apologize for keep dropping out. But there was this mentality that every business
666
1:18:57
1:19:01
deal has got a winner and a loser. Well, real business deals where you need cooperation between
667
1:19:01
1:19:07
two parties can only work if both sides are getting what they want out of it. That's win-win.
668
1:19:07
1:19:13
So you hear a lot of things levied against China. It's a form of imperialism. What are they up to?
669
1:19:13
1:19:19
It's a debt trap. None of these things are true. These are genuine. That's why their approach and
670
1:19:19
1:19:25
the Russian approach to these countries in the global south had so much appeal.
671
1:19:26
1:19:32
And what you said about Africa, it goes much further than that. I mean, the African Union
672
1:19:34
1:19:43
are very much attached to both Russia and China because of the way that they deal with them.
673
1:19:43
1:19:48
They don't talk down to them. You'll hear them say this. The African Union and Africa itself
674
1:19:48
1:19:54
has been plundered for 200 years. South America longer, Asia longer.
675
1:19:56
1:20:02
This is the tale of imperialism. This is what everybody is... The Belt and Road and the initiative
676
1:20:02
1:20:10
that we're seeing now, the Shanghai cooperation, in essence, it's anti-imperialism. They're all
677
1:20:10
1:20:18
rebelling against the same thing. The Chinese model is very much about
678
1:20:18
1:20:28
development. The Belt and Road Initiative is about development. The model of financing they're using
679
1:20:28
1:20:35
is completely different. And that's their crime because the financial private sector is being
680
1:20:35
1:20:41
cut out of it largely. That's very similar to the Islamic model of...
681
1:20:41
1:20:48
Sounds like this...
682
1:20:48
1:20:53
Model is very different. They won't allow usury, but they have a model whereby you become an investor.
683
1:20:54
1:21:00
So their thing is they're investing in a project and that's where they see a profit.
684
1:21:01
1:21:07
The Medici's did exactly the same thing in Florence. That's the way they got around the usury laws
685
1:21:08
1:21:14
400 odd years ago. It's a different model of finance. It's public financing.
686
1:21:17
1:21:22
When you use public financing you can do anything. Is everybody still with me here?
687
1:21:22
1:21:25
Yeah, we can hear you, Eamon.
688
1:21:26
1:21:29
The thing that struck me when you were describing...
689
1:21:29
1:21:31
Yeah, we can hear you.
690
1:21:31
1:21:33
Can you hear us?
691
1:21:33
1:21:42
The thing that struck me when you were talking about the lack of police, the lack of surveillance
692
1:21:42
1:21:50
that everybody, the Westerners project into what they see, is really the same kind of contract
693
1:21:50
1:21:55
between government and citizens, where citizens actually trust their government
694
1:21:56
1:22:02
and the government trusts them and they don't really need surveillance and policing.
695
1:22:06
1:22:11
You're muted, Eamon. I think you dropped off.
696
1:22:11
1:22:14
Sorry, I keep dropping it in.
697
1:22:14
1:22:18
Maybe if you drop your video, Eamon. If you drop your video you might stay on longer.
698
1:22:19
1:22:24
Okay, how's that? I'm sorry, Jack, I missed a part of what you were saying.
699
1:22:27
1:22:35
I think what I was adding to this, that the same spirit of cooperation and reciprocity
700
1:22:36
1:22:42
exists between the government and the people in China. So the government trusts the people
701
1:22:43
1:22:47
to do the right thing and the people don't have to fear the government.
702
1:22:49
1:22:55
In other words, they don't need surveillance, they don't need external control, they don't
703
1:22:55
1:22:56
need so much policing.
704
1:23:00
1:23:05
Well, that's going to be a different situation in every country, but listen, you touched.
705
1:23:06
1:23:11
Give me two minutes to explain something about their financial system and their approach.
706
1:23:11
1:23:18
It's not like the Islamic system. The Islamic system is worded differently in as much that
707
1:23:18
1:23:23
where they actually make or classify it as an investment. The Medici's did the same thing,
708
1:23:23
1:23:30
in Florence in the 1600s to get around their usury laws. How it works today, if you've got
709
1:23:30
1:23:37
public bank, so basically you've got two ways to finance something. If you use the private sector
710
1:23:37
1:23:46
or you can use public banking, that means that the government is actually producing the money
711
1:23:46
1:23:53
for public use. That's the principle of public banking is public banking is there to serve the
712
1:23:53
1:23:59
economy. In the West, the economy is there to serve the banking. Now that's the first
713
1:23:59
1:24:04
thing you have to understand. So how does it work? So I'm going to give you an example.
714
1:24:04
1:24:12
So you've got, I'm going back about 20 years here. You've got Shanghai,
715
1:24:15
1:24:20
you know, on one side of the Yangtze Delta and on the other side, you've got the province of Nantong,
716
1:24:20
1:24:28
Nantong city population of about 9 million. They're supplied by an estuary of about 15 miles.
717
1:24:28
1:24:33
So if you wanted to drive, I'm sorry, I could probably explain this better with a map, but
718
1:24:34
1:24:40
if you wanted to go drive from Nantong to Shanghai, about 45 kilometers as the crow flies,
719
1:24:40
1:24:44
you had to drive seven hours up the estuary and back down again. It was a nightmare.
720
1:24:46
1:24:52
So the Chinese build a bridge. It was the longest bridge of its kind in the world, a toll bridge.
721
1:24:53
1:24:59
Now, how did they do it? Well, they issued a public bond jointly assumed by the cities of
722
1:24:59
1:25:08
Suzhou and Nantong. Suzhou is like an out of line city of Shanghai. So the bonds issued on maybe
723
1:25:08
1:25:16
50 year bond. Low interest rate. It's paid back from the tolls which are collected on both sides
724
1:25:17
1:25:25
by Nantong and Suzhou respectively, and that goes to pay the bond. Now, over a period of time,
725
1:25:25
1:25:32
20 years, that will easily pay for itself. If this was supposed to be private capital,
726
1:25:32
1:25:36
they wouldn't do it, which is why no infrastructure gets built in the West.
727
1:25:37
1:25:43
Because they get paid eventually, but the return is too low and the time frame is too long.
728
1:25:45
1:25:50
Public capital doesn't look at it like that because what public capital says,
729
1:25:50
1:25:57
see private capital can only evaluate the project on the basis of one return investment,
730
1:25:57
1:26:03
which is the tolls. But no, the government doesn't. The government looks at it like this and it says,
731
1:26:03
1:26:11
okay, there's 400,000 cars a day user, one and a half people in each car, that's 600,000 people
732
1:26:12
1:26:21
a day. 600,000 times six hours saved. There's millions of hours a day
733
1:26:23
1:26:28
that could be put to some productive use. The previously was spent sitting in a car,
734
1:26:28
1:26:36
wasting time, causing congestion and pumping out pollution. The GDP on both sides of the bridge
735
1:26:36
1:26:43
have escalated tremendously and it's improved people's lives. That's what infrastructure does.
736
1:26:45
1:26:51
You invest to raise the economy and this is the important part. People talk about capitalism as
737
1:26:51
1:26:57
the big evil. The way we've come to understand it, yes, but there's different kinds of capitalism.
738
1:26:57
1:27:01
There's the kind of financial capitalism that we see in the West, it's all about debt.
739
1:27:02
1:27:08
And then there's productive capitalism where you're actually investing in the productive sector.
740
1:27:09
1:27:18
That's the financial model. And yes, China is magnificent now at building infrastructure in
741
1:27:18
1:27:26
terms of cost, time, efficiency. It's not just trains, it's hydroelectric dams, it's power,
742
1:27:26
1:27:34
it's airports, it's schools, it's industrial development, training programs.
743
1:27:34
1:27:41
And this is available to every country in the world. Now, the economic model can apply everywhere,
744
1:27:41
1:27:46
but how it works is different country by country, depending on their situation, strengths and
745
1:27:46
1:27:51
weaknesses. The Belt and Road Initiative is completely different in every country.
746
1:27:51
1:28:00
That's the appeal of it. It's a different economic paradigm and it works and that's why it's the
747
1:28:00
1:28:07
enemy. Now, people say, what are China up to? You know what I mean? Blah, blah, blah. Well,
748
1:28:07
1:28:12
they got a very simple model. They invest in development because all these countries have
749
1:28:12
1:28:18
got natural resources. They can't get the market. And also the China would like to see them be a
750
1:28:18
1:28:23
nice prosperous country because there are going to be markets for their goods. Their model is
751
1:28:23
1:28:30
based on prosperity, not wealth extraction, which as you pointed out, is the empire model.
752
1:28:30
1:28:37
So yes, Jack, it's a complicated subject. There's countless books, papers, talks about it.
753
1:28:37
1:28:49
I've witnessed it from its inception. So it's a good thing. It's bringing people together.
754
1:28:51
1:28:57
It's helping countries that are deprived of capital, a real opportunity to turn their
755
1:28:58
1:29:06
economies and societies around. And it's a real alternative to the existing neoliberal model,
756
1:29:06
1:29:10
which as you said, is about wealth extraction, not development.
757
1:29:11
1:29:16
Very good. Thank you, Eamonn. Excellent. Thank you, Jack, for the question. Jim.
758
1:29:19
1:29:28
Thank you very much. Hey, great presentation on China and you seem to be a very big fan of
759
1:29:28
1:29:33
China and I appreciate that. There seem to be a lot of good things that are underestimated from
760
1:29:33
1:29:40
China. What are the commonalities or can you draw some parallels? What is the best thing that China
761
1:29:40
1:29:45
can offer in terms of their banking systems you were talking about, if you could expand upon that?
762
1:29:45
1:29:54
And then also the city of London and its ties to China, starting with symbolism and the two
763
1:29:54
1:29:59
dragons versus the dragon in China and the imperial family calling them the real sons of the dragon
764
1:29:59
1:30:05
versus anything else you have on the imperial family and the city of London in China. Thanks.
765
1:30:08
1:30:10
You're an Eagles fan.
766
1:30:12
1:30:14
Absolutely. Yeah.
767
1:30:16
1:30:21
Well, my heart's always been with Washington ever since I won 100 bucks when they beat Miami
768
1:30:21
1:30:32
40 years ago. Okay. When you talk about China, I've spent a good part of the last 40 years
769
1:30:32
1:30:41
explaining China to the West and trust me, I'm not suggesting by any means that the place is perfect,
770
1:30:41
1:30:50
but I was there in 1976. I in fact got there the day Chairman Mao died. Have you just seen the
771
1:30:50
1:30:54
country at that time? It was at the end of the cultural revolution. It was in turmoil.
772
1:30:55
1:31:02
Everybody had a tale of woe. The GDP of China at the time was lower than Nigeria.
773
1:31:04
1:31:13
I've seen China raise 1 billion people, absolute grueling, humiliating, soul destroying poverty
774
1:31:14
1:31:22
to a better way of life. I've seen this sort of desperate hopelessness in people's eyes where
775
1:31:22
1:31:28
they know that this is it. They've got no realistic prospect for a better life. So
776
1:31:30
1:31:36
China today is completely different. I mean, I encourage you just go on YouTube and look at
777
1:31:36
1:31:41
China infrastructure projects, look at their technology, look how far they've come because
778
1:31:42
1:31:48
the government invested in all the right things, invested in education, in science and technology.
779
1:31:49
1:31:55
And in so many of these cases, I mean, they've just leapfrogged generations of progress.
780
1:31:56
1:32:03
So yeah, I mean, you know, look, I'm the, you know, I'm an Irishman, so I'm a born anarchist. I don't
781
1:32:03
1:32:11
believe in government or what to do, but you have to absolutely acknowledge the achievement
782
1:32:11
1:32:19
of the Chinese government. And the people in China, I mean, this is not understood. They're
783
1:32:19
1:32:26
like somehow they're impressed and they don't have any democracy. Their system, very few people have
784
1:32:26
1:32:33
got any critiques about the central government because they're all aware of what the central
785
1:32:33
1:32:41
government has done. Now, they've all got a healthy cynicism of the government. They don't
786
1:32:41
1:32:48
believe the media or anything like that. It's like a running joke. The Chinese are not communist,
787
1:32:48
1:32:56
believe me. On a local level, they've got democracy. The town I was living in for a while,
788
1:32:57
1:33:06
about 9 million in central Shandong, there was plans to build a factory. It turns out it was a
789
1:33:06
1:33:12
chemical factory. It was near a school, near a residential area. Thousands of people came out
790
1:33:12
1:33:19
and, you know, protested outside the local government building. There were TV crews there
791
1:33:19
1:33:24
listening to them. They were being interviewed, you know, it was on TV. Central government got
792
1:33:24
1:33:31
involved, looked at it. You're right, they closed the factory, no factory. So, you know, on a local
793
1:33:31
1:33:39
level, you'll see a lot of people protesting and it works in China. It doesn't seem to work in the
794
1:33:39
1:33:49
West, but it works in China. So, do I have affection for the place? Yeah, I have to say in all my years
795
1:33:49
1:33:58
in China, everybody was really nice to me. You know, they're lovely people and like I said,
796
1:33:58
1:34:02
if anybody's ever been to China, they would feel differently about it.
797
1:34:03
1:34:11
In terms of... The second part of Tim's question. Yeah, the second part of Tim's question is about
798
1:34:11
1:34:21
the banking system. The public banking system, China didn't create it. It's been used elsewhere,
799
1:34:22
1:34:30
always successfully. There's a public banking system in the Bank of North Dakota, which works
800
1:34:30
1:34:36
very, very well apparently. So, China didn't invent that, but public banking, okay, involves cutting
801
1:34:36
1:34:42
out the hegemon for his piece of the action and that always causes a problem.
802
1:34:47
1:34:52
The other form of private central banking where you're creating debt-based money is always going
803
1:34:52
1:35:00
to create an oligarchy and it's always going to create the rich-poor divide. The public banking
804
1:35:00
1:35:06
gives the ability to create a fairer society and see development from the bottom up as opposed to
805
1:35:06
1:35:16
the top down. Was there another part of that question? Yes, the city of London and their ties to...
806
1:35:16
1:35:23
Well, the city of London has always been... Yeah, it's always been the adversary of China.
807
1:35:24
1:35:32
Let me put it like that. When the Chinese Civil War was coming to a conclusion, the communists
808
1:35:32
1:35:40
were leaving, the communists were winning. The Kuomintang fled to Taiwan and they also took the
809
1:35:40
1:35:48
entirety of China's gold reserves. Those gold reserves were there for a couple of years and
810
1:35:48
1:35:52
then the Americans said to the Taiwanese, well, we don't know about that, you know, the Chinese
811
1:35:52
1:35:58
might invade, you better leave your gold with us. So, Chinese gold went to Taiwan and then went and
812
1:35:58
1:36:02
ended up in America. And the Taiwanese have been trying to get it back ever since.
813
1:36:04
1:36:11
So, the Bank of England and China are opponents, they are enemies. The Bank of England is the head
814
1:36:11
1:36:20
of the snake for the financial system. And look, Charles said earlier, we're at war. Yes, we are.
815
1:36:20
1:36:27
We are in the final battle. There was a British historian, 19th century historian, Lord Acton,
816
1:36:27
1:36:33
and he said, as it's been coming throughout mankind, it will come down to the final battle,
817
1:36:33
1:36:39
which is the bankers versus the people. That is what we are seeing now.
818
1:36:41
1:36:50
What I mean by that is Russia and China have seen the devil. That is the Western financial system
819
1:36:50
1:37:00
and what they're about. They're not having them. Iran isn't having them. So, whatever you think of
820
1:37:00
1:37:06
Russia, whatever you think of China, let me sum it up like this. They are protecting their people
821
1:37:08
1:37:14
from the financial system, from the bankers. They've been the enemy of mankind since
822
1:37:14
1:37:22
going back to the days of Babylon. So, if we have any freedoms left in the West in 10 years,
823
1:37:22
1:37:27
you can thank the Chinese and the Russians because they're standing up to the New World Order and
824
1:37:27
1:37:34
everybody else in all those other countries outside the West knows that. When they speak
825
1:37:34
1:37:39
with Russia and China, they're treated with dignity, they're treated as equals, and I'll talk down to
826
1:37:39
1:37:44
it. That's very much the sort of thing that you're hearing from the Africans. They're treated with
827
1:37:44
1:37:59
respect. So, the City of London is the head of the snake, simple as that. People talk about
828
1:37:59
1:38:06
military industrial complex. The military industrial complex is part of the banker industrial complex.
829
1:38:07
1:38:14
The war profiteers have always been the bankers. Go back to the American Civil War, JP Morgan,
830
1:38:14
1:38:22
who was a front for the Ross-Giles, sold weapons to the North. The great DuPont fortune was founded,
831
1:38:22
1:38:29
Irene DuPont, more or less had the monopoly of supplying gunpowder to the North. They prospered
832
1:38:29
1:38:36
through the First World War, the Second World War. If you look at pre-World War I, Europe,
833
1:38:37
1:38:44
the two biggest arms manufacturers in Britain were Maxim Gorky and Vickers, both owned by the Ross-Giles.
834
1:38:45
1:38:51
They profited enormously from both wars. Now, today, if you look at the military industrial
835
1:38:51
1:38:57
complex, it's a web of cross-investments and hedge funds and whatever. That's the bankers.
836
1:38:58
1:39:08
So, the military industrial complex from 1945 to at least March last year shunned every possibility
837
1:39:09
1:39:17
for peace. And that's where we are today. So, there's one part of the world that's about building
838
1:39:17
1:39:24
things and creating and elevating and the other part of the world which just wants to blow everything
839
1:39:24
1:39:33
up. Everybody can pretty much say that now. Can I ask a follow-on question? Yes, Jim, go.
840
1:39:37
1:39:44
That was excellent. Thank you very much. Can you relate the City of London to MI6
841
1:39:44
1:39:49
and this bi-network of Six Eyes, the Crown Colonies?
842
1:39:49
1:39:56
Yes, well, the Crown is kind of a deliberate obfuscation. It's trying to associate it with
843
1:39:56
1:40:01
the royalty. Well, the royalty is just the avatar of the front. The Crown corporations
844
1:40:02
1:40:10
are the instruments of control. When you had the British Empire ostensibly split up and become the
845
1:40:10
1:40:16
Commonwealth, all the institutions of control were still there. The banking system, the red-winged
846
1:40:16
1:40:24
was still there. The banking system, the round tables. So, the control never actually left.
847
1:40:24
1:40:30
What it did is give the British Empire more votes in the United Nations. So, the Crown,
848
1:40:31
1:40:39
the Crown Corporation of the City of London, for example, that owns the United States of America
849
1:40:39
1:40:47
Inc. in 1871. When you hear America's not a country, it's a business. That is literally true.
850
1:40:48
1:40:49
It was always a business.
851
1:40:54
1:40:59
I mean, you could talk about the Crown forever. I don't know what to say about that.
852
1:40:59
1:41:01
Now, that's good. That's very good, Jim.
854
1:41:07
1:41:12
Yep. Okay. Thank you, Jim. Very good. Great questions. Amy Smith is next.
855
1:41:15
1:41:16
Hello. Can you hear me on this?
856
1:41:17
1:41:18
Yep. Yes, ma'am.
857
1:41:19
1:41:22
Okay. Is it too loud? Well, I have a new microphone.
858
1:41:22
1:41:22
That's good.
859
1:41:23
1:41:30
So, I'm just wondering if you've ever looked at the work of E. Michael Jones, talks about
860
1:41:32
1:41:39
these cultural Marxism operations, as well as the imposition of communism.
861
1:41:41
1:41:44
One of his books is called The Jewish Revolutionary Spirit. It's about the...
862
1:41:45
1:41:54
No, I'm actually a big fan of him. I mean, he's one of those courageous people. When you talk about
863
1:41:54
1:42:03
Jewish revolution and the New World Order, you make yourself an easy target for slurs. We've all been
864
1:42:03
1:42:14
there. No, I'm a big fan of his. He's also done some excellent work on Babylonian money magic,
865
1:42:14
1:42:21
which is what we're talking about here now. So, yeah, there's a lot of very, very good
866
1:42:23
1:42:30
people that are actually addressing and speaking about this now. But the motivators between the
867
1:42:30
1:42:37
New World Order are Jewish. The people behind the Frankfurt School, they're Jewish. If you want to
868
1:42:37
1:42:45
understand about this immigration situation and the dilution of Europe, you need to understand
869
1:42:45
1:42:55
the Calergy Plan. So, this New World Order that they're trying to create, or they're a great reset,
870
1:42:55
1:43:02
it's been in the works for a long time. There was a lot to it, the Cultural Marxism, the Calergy Plan,
871
1:43:03
1:43:08
and essentially it's a very small group of people, not exclusively Jewish, but
872
1:43:10
1:43:15
who have a hatred for the white Christian race, who they see as the main opposition, so they're
873
1:43:15
1:43:23
standing up. There's a very good case that World War I, World War II, it served a purpose with
874
1:43:23
1:43:34
the Calergy Plan, some of the finest young Europeans. It's a subject that needs to be spoken
875
1:43:34
1:43:39
about because it's absolutely a fact. And I mean, this same group of people have been equally
876
1:43:39
1:43:46
horrific to their own Jewish people. When they found Israel and you had these Sephardic Jews,
877
1:43:47
1:43:54
who were very religious, they came over. The Israeli government then didn't want these
878
1:43:54
1:44:00
particular kind of Jews, so it took all the children away to the weekend and sterilized them.
879
1:44:02
1:44:10
So, it's a destructive group, and it doesn't care it's destructive about. And again, if you follow
880
1:44:10
1:44:17
that through and you study the Cultural Marxism, it's about the destruction of Western society,
881
1:44:17
1:44:22
Western values, Western family, and replacing it with something else. Now,
882
1:44:23
1:44:32
as I said, the final push is this Agenda 2030. But Agenda 2030, I think when they first lay down
883
1:44:32
1:44:39
the 1970s, there ain't some horrifically arrogant assumptions that are no longer valid. They don't
884
1:44:39
1:44:46
control the rest of the world. And Cultural Marxism has only really taken hold in the Western
885
1:44:46
1:44:54
societies that are not homogeneous. Now, it's got no traction in Russia or Eastern Europe,
886
1:44:54
1:44:59
Eastern Europe, they've seen it and are having it. It's not going anywhere in China, Iran,
887
1:45:00
1:45:07
because these are civilizations with their own value system, their own way of figuring things out.
888
1:45:08
1:45:13
And that's why it's going to fail, because the only people that are actually falling for this
889
1:45:13
1:45:19
nonsense are the people in the West who are being conditioned in all this virtue signaling.
890
1:45:21
1:45:23
So yeah, that's a very good question. Thank you.
891
1:45:24
1:45:31
Well, can I just tack on a tiny, tiny press forward that this idea that the West is monolithic,
892
1:45:31
1:45:37
which we often say talk like that just because it's convenient or whatever. But the whole idea of
893
1:45:37
1:45:43
the West being targeted, like you say, with the Cultural Marxism, that there's been different
894
1:45:43
1:45:49
kinds of Western colonialism, it's not all one thing of a piece. And that maybe the white pill
895
1:45:49
1:45:56
is that we could embrace and return to the wisdom of Catholicism, you're Irish, right?
896
1:45:56
1:46:05
And strengthen ourselves for the spiritual battle by reuniting under Christ's church to
897
1:46:05
1:46:14
stand up to this demonic force that's been making war on children, on families, on sexuality, on
898
1:46:15
1:46:20
just even the very gender of a person as if that could be changed or surrogacy could be normalized
899
1:46:20
1:46:25
or transhumanism, all of these demonic things, genetic engineering, mRNA vaccination, all of
900
1:46:25
1:46:34
these demonic things. Doesn't it make sense to try to unite around the force that is terrifying
901
1:46:34
1:46:39
and strong against those demonic things, which is Christ, that's just put that out there. Anyway,
902
1:46:39
1:46:44
that's what I think. That's what I've gotten to. But I'd be curious to what you think as an Irishman
903
1:46:44
1:46:54
about that. Well, I grew up in the Catholic faith and I wasn't very impressed with it. I
904
1:46:55
1:47:00
realized I sort of couldn't help but notice early on that Catholics didn't seem to be any better
905
1:47:00
1:47:08
than anybody else. I think the Vatican itself has been a terrible force for evil in the world.
906
1:47:09
1:47:18
But in terms of the eternal battle between good and evil and spirituality, and us finding out
907
1:47:18
1:47:25
who we are, that's also been a battle. I mean, you can go back way before the French Revolution and
908
1:47:25
1:47:34
you could see what they falsely call the humanists, who people are Voltaire, where they were sort of
909
1:47:34
1:47:41
decrying God. Voltaire, you know, there was no such thing as God, man would have to invent him.
910
1:47:41
1:47:47
And that got into the Psyche. So that was very much part of that Jacobite movement that spurred
911
1:47:47
1:47:53
the French Revolution. But then you saw it later with people like Zygmunt Freud, and they want to
912
1:47:53
1:47:59
separate people from their spirituality to reduce us to the point where we accept that, hey, we're
913
1:47:59
1:48:06
just animals with instincts and impulses, that there is no higher power because that has to go
914
1:48:06
1:48:12
too. Because part of this cultural agenda is that you have to worship the state to the exclusion of
915
1:48:12
1:48:19
everything else. You don't have parents, the fact that the state raises you, they condition you,
916
1:48:19
1:48:25
you know, it's them that you salute every morning. That's all part of it. And if it sounds far-fetched,
917
1:48:25
1:48:30
I encourage people to go and again, study the cultural Marxist agenda so they can really
918
1:48:30
1:48:39
understand what's behind what's going on today. But if I could, I'm sorry, I can't see your name
919
1:48:39
1:48:50
up here. Amy. Amy Smith. Well, thank you, Amy. I have to say I've been pretty much an atheist
920
1:48:50
1:49:00
all my life. But I'm actually changing. I mean, I'm not pretending that I'm a particularly spiritual
921
1:49:00
1:49:08
person. In fact, I'm probably pretty shallow. But none of this makes sense to me unless I bring in
922
1:49:08
1:49:21
a spiritual element to it. There's definitely an evil that exists. You've heard the expression,
923
1:49:21
1:49:25
the greatest trick the devil ever played was convincing the world he didn't exist.
924
1:49:26
1:49:33
That was actually written in 1848 by Charles Baudelaire, who was a French writer and philosopher.
925
1:49:34
1:49:40
And during that time in France, the place was in turmoil. The failed French Revolution,
926
1:49:40
1:49:46
the restoration of an unpopular monarchy, reestablishment of an aristocratic money
927
1:49:46
1:49:52
class. And the whole country was completely broke because they were being bled for reparations for
928
1:49:52
1:49:59
the Napoleonic Wars. Everybody was angry, but nobody knew who to be angry at. That was the
929
1:50:00
1:50:09
term. Well, we do know who to be angry at today. We do know there is a source for this.
930
1:50:10
1:50:15
People talk about joining the dots. I think it's actually easier than that. If you take any
931
1:50:15
1:50:20
conflict or tragedy going on in the world today, you can trace it back to the source in about three
932
1:50:20
1:50:34
moves or less. All right. Thank you. I completely agree with everything you said. They don't want
933
1:50:34
1:50:40
us to be in touch with our spirituality. They don't want us to think that there's anything more.
934
1:50:41
1:50:45
They don't want us to have values that conflict with theirs, which is that we should all worship
935
1:50:45
1:50:56
the state. But, Eamon, I'm not trying to contradict you now. Could you explain in China,
936
1:50:56
1:51:04
where is religion in China? Isn't that exactly what they do in China? Don't they worship the state
937
1:51:04
1:51:08
because they're so grateful to the state for dragging them out of poverty? Is that right?
938
1:51:08
1:51:17
No. Well, you can go to Easter Sunday Mass at a church in Shanghai if you want, or you can
939
1:51:17
1:51:26
worship at a mosque. There's freedom of religion in China. I mean, that's one of these things that
940
1:51:26
1:51:34
they try and throw out about human rights in China. Nobody has any example beyond the Uighurs. There
941
1:51:34
1:51:41
seems to be this assumption that the Chinese persecute their minorities. China has 55 different
942
1:51:41
1:51:46
ethnic groups, and it encourages them all to celebrate their culture and their local language.
943
1:51:47
1:51:57
One of those cultural groups are the Muslim population. They're all over China, all over China.
944
1:51:57
1:52:05
Now, they have always had more rights than the average Chinese. They didn't have to send their
945
1:52:05
1:52:11
kids to school. They could go to a mosque and learn that. Most of them didn't even speak Chinese.
946
1:52:12
1:52:16
They could have more than one child during the period of the one-child policy.
947
1:52:16
1:52:23
Now, if you look at where they keep pointing to, which is this area, Xinjiang province, which is
948
1:52:23
1:52:32
the extreme northwest of China. It's a large area. It's resource-rich. It's not productive land. It's
949
1:52:32
1:52:42
very dry. That's where most of the Uighur Muslim Chinese are. Now, there's never been a problem
950
1:52:42
1:52:50
with them, but what you have in that whole area, firstly, understand Xinjiang borders as Pakistan,
951
1:52:50
1:53:00
Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmikistan. So China actually has 14 borders that it shares with other
952
1:53:00
1:53:08
countries. Eight of them were Islamic. It has no problem with any of these Islamic nations. In fact,
953
1:53:08
1:53:14
they're very friendly, but they all have exactly the same problem, which is radicals trying to
954
1:53:14
1:53:21
fundamentalize the kids. Every single one of those countries has that same problem, and they're
955
1:53:21
1:53:29
western-funded. There's a terrorist group there called the Turkic Islamic Army that work in that
956
1:53:29
1:53:37
area. There, the guys driving around on toyotas, waving Kalashnikov in Syria and Iraq and everywhere
957
1:53:38
1:53:45
that they're stirring up trouble. So do you have religious freedom, China? Yes, you do.
958
1:53:45
1:53:49
So you can go there and practice any religion you want. I'm afraid that's another mess.
959
1:53:52
1:53:57
Very good. I'm an excellent explanation. We've got everybody half an hour to go home, and you're
960
1:53:57
1:54:04
doing very well. It's now four o'clock in the morning. Thank you so much. We've got a couple
961
1:54:04
1:54:05
hands up, and then we go back to Stephen.
962
1:54:14
1:54:16
What did you say, Eamonn, then?
963
1:54:21
1:54:27
I'm not going back to bed. The coffee's kicked in. I'm wide awake, so please feel free.
964
1:54:27
1:54:48
I'm fine. I've got to tell you, your analysis of everything today is absolutely excellent.
965
1:54:49
1:54:55
I've studied China, particularly its financial system, its banking system for a very long time.
966
1:54:55
1:55:01
25 years I've been on the job. Everything you said today is accurate. They run their
967
1:55:03
1:55:13
financial system like a Swiss clock, and they enable it to then basically let the real economy
968
1:55:13
1:55:20
get to work on the goods and services. So everything you said there is, I agree, totally 100%. I watch
969
1:55:21
1:55:25
the Chinese finance system very closely. I read reports every week.
970
1:55:26
1:55:31
I've got three questions. Thank you for your excellence of your comments today. I agree with
971
1:55:31
1:55:36
just about everything you've said on other things to geopolitical situation and whatever.
972
1:55:37
1:55:39
I've got three questions for you, and they're all fairly similar.
973
1:55:40
1:55:46
So you could make a note. First is the connection between WEF and the Chinese government.
974
1:55:46
1:55:53
I'm very concerned that they're continuing with the summer Davos meetings. So that's question one.
975
1:55:54
1:56:03
Question two is, was mRNA technology used for the vaccines in China? I really can't find this
976
1:56:03
1:56:11
information. And thirdly, I just want to back you up on the CBDC, the Chinese Central Bank
977
1:56:12
1:56:21
Digital Currency or the digital yuan. It's in very, very small circulation in China. It hasn't
978
1:56:22
1:56:29
been expanded much at all. I put the actual facts up on the chat previously.
979
1:56:30
1:56:40
The digital yuan is 0.16% of China's cash in circulation. So it's nothing. It's tiny.
980
1:56:40
1:56:47
And it represents only 1.4% of total GDP transactions. So this endless talk in the
981
1:56:47
1:56:55
West of the social credit system and their digital money system is just not true. It's another myth.
982
1:56:56
1:57:01
So they're my three questions. I'll just go through them again. The WEF and the Chinese
983
1:57:01
1:57:08
government, mRNA use in China, and perhaps another comment on the CBDC, but that's not so essential.
984
1:57:10
1:57:17
Everything you've said, firstly, you'll understand, of course, that the Chinese,
985
1:57:17
1:57:24
the way they do things is slowly. So that's, they don't have an arrogance when they do something
986
1:57:24
1:57:31
new. It's kind of like this is something new. Let's try it. That goes back to Ding Xiaoping,
987
1:57:31
1:57:37
you know, when he spoke about how it was going to go. And he said, we'll cross the river by
988
1:57:37
1:57:42
feeding the stones under our feet. It's a famous quote. So they will always do something like that.
989
1:57:42
1:57:48
When they roll out new government policy, they'll sort of put a small version out to the provinces,
990
1:57:48
1:57:53
have them work with it. And this CBDC thing, you're right. And it's not going to be a huge
991
1:57:53
1:58:01
departure from what they're doing now. So yeah, it's a very small portion now. I think the digital
992
1:58:01
1:58:08
yuan is going to be more for international trade, frankly. But they've got a perfectly
993
1:58:08
1:58:12
functional payment system now that everybody seems to be wired into.
994
1:58:14
1:58:21
That's the first thing. The second thing is my understanding is no, that wasn't mRNA technology.
995
1:58:21
1:58:28
They didn't want any of the Western vaccines. That's my understanding. And the first one is
996
1:58:31
1:58:37
the WEF represents everything that the Chinese are against. So if you look at
997
1:58:39
1:58:46
Xi made a speech to them. And if you read between the lines about what Xi said, it was like, yeah,
998
1:58:46
1:58:52
fine. Love all the stuff you're doing. It's not for us. You know, no, we're not going to open
999
1:58:52
1:58:58
our capital markets. No, we're not going to, you know, move to your neoliberal model. No, you're
1000
1:58:58
1:59:03
not having any of your oligarchs coming in influencing policies that are made with the
1001
1:59:03
1:59:09
best interests of the Chinese people. So yeah, well, I mean, Putin showed up. I mean, Jesus,
1002
1:59:09
1:59:12
Jerry, if they invited me, I'd go out of curiosity, wouldn't you?
1003
1:59:15
1:59:20
Oh, that's a great comment. Because I think that's right. I think Putin and Xi Jinping
1004
1:59:20
1:59:27
tolerate the WEF just to seek intelligence. I mean, I suspected there was no strong connection.
1005
1:59:27
1:59:31
They're there just to see what's going on. I may be wrong, but that's my gut feeling.
1006
1:59:33
1:59:37
You know, when I tried to cover it earlier, because I mean, there are still a lot of people
1007
1:59:37
1:59:44
that think it's all a show and China and Russia are part of it. No, it's not. If you understood
1008
1:59:44
1:59:52
the mindset of the Chinese people, the Chinese government, the understanding that's shared by
1009
1:59:52
1:59:59
the Chinese people, what it's about. If you understand the Russians and what they went
1010
1:59:59
2:00:06
through, where, you know, their financial shock, well, the rate of Russia, you know, a friend of
1011
2:00:06
2:00:13
mine, I wasn't there during that period of time during the 90s. But a friend of mine showed me a
1012
2:00:13
2:00:20
book that he bought off this really dignified elderly gentleman sitting on the street in Russia,
1013
2:00:21
2:00:27
selling his last possessions, which was three grubby old books and a pair of slippers.
1014
2:00:28
2:00:32
One of the books he'd written, because he used to be a professor at Moscow State University.
1015
2:00:32
2:00:39
That's how bad it was. That's how badly the country was humiliated. If we talk about China's
1016
2:00:39
2:00:47
century of humiliation, Russia's decade. And if you want a story of woe like that, you can throw a
1017
2:00:48
2:00:52
map and whatever country it lands in, they got a tale of woe like that, where they've been the
1018
2:00:52
2:01:02
victim of empire. And fortunately, that is what's happening now. I am not one of these people that
1019
2:01:02
2:01:11
is all doom and gloom. I've been through that. I've been what you might call conspiracy theorists
1020
2:01:11
2:01:18
since the Kennedy assassination. My old mom, Jerry, an Irish girl, we were sitting there on
1021
2:01:18
2:01:25
a Sunday night watching King Kong in London, and a newsflash came on JFK assassinated Lan
1022
2:01:25
2:01:33
Gumbay. My mom's gone, they killed him. And like that's been pretty much it. You know, and I will
1023
2:01:33
2:01:39
tell you right now that like in the early 2000s, the fall of Russia, China hadn't really emerged
1024
2:01:39
2:01:47
yet. And Francis Fukuyama wrote the book The End of History, the Victory of the Neo-liberal Model.
1025
2:01:47
2:01:56
They had pretty much won. That was the time for gloom. Now, no, now for the first time in forever,
1026
2:01:56
2:02:02
the world is moving in the right direction. You know, this block that's united around Russia and
1027
2:02:02
2:02:09
China is strong, and it's not going back. Napoleon said that there's something stronger than all the
1028
2:02:09
2:02:17
armies in the world. That is an idea whose time has come. This is that time. That's the positive.
1029
2:02:18
2:02:25
You know, we're in for some hard times in the short term. The rest of the world will come out
1030
2:02:25
2:02:32
of it, reemerge and rebuild much faster than most people think possible. Because history's shown us
1031
2:02:32
2:02:39
with the right economic model, it can happen very quickly. The Western world, I despair of.
1032
2:02:40
2:02:46
It's going to be a long march back to get rid of this virus of cultural Marxism that's penetrated
1033
2:02:46
2:02:53
all the institutions and poisoned the minds of kids. And in the Western countries, they've hitched
1034
2:02:53
2:02:59
their wagon to the US financial system and they're going to go down with it. It's going to be a long
1035
2:02:59
2:03:05
climb back because I see no leadership there at all. The real leaders are not in the West anymore
1036
2:03:05
2:03:13
and that's a tragedy. Very good. I mean, that's excellent. You've answered the three questions.
1037
2:03:13
2:03:21
WEF in China, no strong connection. mRNA in China, not used in China. And the last one was CBDC in
1038
2:03:21
2:03:27
China. It's all a massive misinformation program in the West. It doesn't really
1039
2:03:30
2:03:36
carry any significance in China today. They're the three big questions. You've answered them in no time.
1040
2:03:39
2:03:44
Well, the CBDC doesn't make any difference to them. They're using the same payment system anyway.
1041
2:03:44
2:03:50
They're using the payment system that's the same as against the CBD. That's mainly only for
1042
2:03:50
2:03:55
international trade. It's small now, but it won't be. And thank you for your input and your
1043
2:03:57
2:04:03
comments, Jerry. That was great, buddy. Thank you very much. I'm sure we'd have a much more interesting
1044
2:04:03
2:04:10
conversation. Just before I go in, I'll just put my website, my financial website on the chat and
1045
2:04:10
2:04:16
have a look at that. And I will try and contact you. We should talk. Thank you. Well, Charles,
1046
2:04:17
2:04:23
I don't have quite any social media, but Charles is absolutely in liberty to give you my
1047
2:04:25
2:04:29
or anybody here my email should you wish. Okay, very good.
1048
2:04:33
2:04:39
Okay. Thank you, Jerry. Tom, then Janet and then Stephen, and we're finishing in 20 minutes. Go, Tom.
1049
2:04:40
2:04:45
So I just heard this hour long thing with Scott Ritter and I think Garland Nixon from one of the
1050
2:04:45
2:04:52
Russian outlets and they were talking about war games with China and how we just consistently lose
1051
2:04:52
2:04:59
after lose, you know, on and on. But I don't have one question. I'm just going to run a bunch of
1052
2:04:59
2:05:05
ideas across. I'm thinking there's probably some anecdotal stories, people that you know,
1053
2:05:05
2:05:12
you got to know in China. I'd like to hear, you know, a couple of those like formative experiences
1054
2:05:12
2:05:20
and then going over the culture, you know, the, do you read the text? Is it, you know,
1055
2:05:20
2:05:27
it's just so foreign to me and I know so little about China. I would think they don't use a
1056
2:05:27
2:05:34
character based like us in alphabet or do they? Or, you know, I'm just very ignorant.
1057
2:05:35
2:05:43
You know, something about the media and the pop culture there and, you know, sort of like a high
1058
2:05:43
2:05:53
school civics level thing. Like do they have provinces? How do people get involved in
1059
2:05:53
2:06:01
how do people get involved in the government? And then another big shift would be
1060
2:06:02
2:06:10
money creation. It sounds like the government creates money. They decide on big infrastructure
1061
2:06:10
2:06:17
projects. So how does that governance work? It seems like we're very afraid of centralized control
1062
2:06:17
2:06:24
and here in the U.S. right? We vilify that. So how do the people get represented?
1063
2:06:25
2:06:30
You know, if we got rid of the Fed and we set up a similar mechanism here,
1064
2:06:30
2:06:38
everyone would worry about it becoming corrupted. So those are some ideas and then, you know,
1065
2:06:39
2:06:45
do they use cash? What's the deal with taxes? And they forgive debts.
1066
2:06:48
2:06:54
I wouldn't argue with any of that. Give me a couple of simple questions. Otherwise,
1067
2:06:54
2:06:57
we'll be here until the dawn of the next empire.
1068
2:06:57
2:07:02
Yeah. Well, okay. How about just the, some of the people that you met,
1069
2:07:02
2:07:06
like formative relationships when you were there, you know,
1070
2:07:07
2:07:10
you described some of the characters that you got to know.
1071
2:07:10
2:07:15
Well, I met Deng Xiaoping in 1980 when I was there with the initial delegation of
1072
2:07:15
2:07:23
Occidental Petroleum. It was a strange set of circumstances. And I've met many people that
1073
2:07:24
2:07:31
influenced me. Look, if I go wandering off into the anecdotal, I mean, it's all a little bit
1074
2:07:31
2:07:39
abstract. Yeah, they use cash, but more and more everybody's using the electronic payments.
1075
2:07:39
2:07:46
And I've been in China for four years now. I'm still running my business there,
1076
2:07:46
2:07:51
but I haven't had to go. Four years ago, I never had cash in my pocket for 10 days.
1077
2:07:51
2:07:57
One of my colleagues was me, everything was on the phone. I'm sure it's, you know,
1078
2:07:57
2:08:03
that's stepped up now. But I mean, look, I appreciate all your questions. And I mean,
1079
2:08:04
2:08:09
it honestly, I wouldn't know where to start answering those sort of things.
1080
2:08:10
2:08:15
It's centralized control. No, people don't like it in America, but you've got it.
1081
2:08:17
2:08:22
You know, I mean, that's always been about the power of the federal government.
1082
2:08:22
2:08:33
It's always the lone patriots in America. So, yeah, well, yeah, what China had to do
1083
2:08:33
2:08:38
in one hundred years project, there's no other way they could possibly have done it,
1084
2:08:38
2:08:45
but the way they did it. And that's an absolute fact. And they're not wedded to communism and
1085
2:08:45
2:08:49
ideology. It's just about practicality. I mean, they're teaching schools over there.
1086
2:08:50
2:08:57
At the time, communism was what China needed. You know, in a hundred years, we'll need another
1087
2:08:57
2:09:02
system and we'll move to that. That's it. They're not ideologically linked to it.
1088
2:09:03
2:09:09
Deng Xiaoping, when he started moving to market reforms and there was criticism because it was
1089
2:09:09
2:09:15
contrary to the Marxist model, he said, white cat, black cat, as long as it catches mice,
1090
2:09:15
2:09:22
it's the right cat. So it's a very pragmatic approach. It doesn't lend itself to any ideology.
1091
2:09:24
2:09:33
But talk on journeys through China and anecdotes and things, I wouldn't even know
1092
2:09:33
2:09:37
where to begin condensing those down. I'm sorry to disappoint you.
1093
2:09:38
2:09:39
Good question.
1094
2:09:41
2:09:41
Thanks.
1095
2:09:41
2:09:46
Thanks, Tom. Thanks. Thanks, Janet. Then Stephen.
1096
2:09:48
2:09:53
Yeah, you mentioned the Uyghurs. I mean, we've been led to believe that they've been
1097
2:09:54
2:10:00
herded into camps for reprogramming. I mean, what is actually the truth of the matter with
1098
2:10:00
2:10:03
regard to it? Lies, lies. He's been saying lies.
1099
2:10:03
2:10:15
Yeah, well, let's bear in mind who's bringing you all this concern. Who's actually talking this up?
1100
2:10:17
2:10:22
Coming from the American Empire. Now, I don't have any doubt that Muslims all over the world
1101
2:10:22
2:10:35
are heart-warmed. The American Empire is no concern for their well-being. I'm sure they're
1102
2:10:35
2:10:45
blowing trumpets from Guantanamo Bay to Abu Ghraib. No. China gets on with all of its Muslim
1103
2:10:45
2:10:52
neighbors. Look at the relationship it has with Saudi Arabia, Iran, Syria,
1104
2:10:54
2:10:59
the Arab League. If China was abusing Muslims, do you think that would be happening? I'm afraid
1105
2:10:59
2:11:04
that is just more propaganda. That's the narrative. And they've even given up on that because
1106
2:11:05
2:11:12
it's been so disproved. You know, China's been under assault from America since 1950.
1107
2:11:12
2:11:17
That's the truth of it. From that region there to trying to provoke them over Taiwan to the
1108
2:11:17
2:11:24
South China Sea to Tibet, everything is about attacking and trying to destabilize China,
1109
2:11:24
2:11:32
including the attempted color revolution in Tiananmen Square in 1989. Everything that you
1110
2:11:32
2:11:41
have been told in the West is a lie. That's the truth. So, the answer to the question
1111
2:11:42
2:11:50
is no, there is no persecution of minorities in China. And what did you say about Tiananmen Square?
1113
2:11:58
2:12:05
has never been allowed back in and the Chinese collaborators with him were arrested. So, that was
1114
2:12:05
2:12:11
an early version or an early attempt at a color revolution. I was actually in Beijing at the time.
1115
2:12:11
2:12:14
And it was nothing like what was reported.
1116
2:12:16
2:12:19
Eamon, can you explain what a color revolution is to the audience?
1117
2:12:20
2:12:26
Well, we saw an attempt. I think most of you must know, but I mean, George Soros has been back in
1118
2:12:26
2:12:33
them. I mean, Maidan Square in 2014 was a color revolution by George Soros and the Neocons. There
1119
2:12:33
2:12:41
was an attempt at another one in Hong Kong, let's say a couple of years ago. This is what they do.
1120
2:12:41
2:12:50
They regime change programs. Very good. All right, everybody. Before we go, Stephen,
1121
2:12:50
2:13:03
Eamon started talking with us some two hours ago. And he said, this is complex. China is complex.
1122
2:13:03
2:13:08
If you've been there for 20, 30 years, you wouldn't know where to start to explain it. And one of my
1123
2:13:08
2:13:15
favorite sayings, I believe, is a Chinese saying that says to be uncertain can be uncomfortable.
1124
2:13:15
2:13:20
And if you want a certain answer, there are uncertainties. To be uncertain can be uncomfortable.
1125
2:13:20
2:13:27
However, to be certain is ridiculous. So, contemplate that, everybody. Looking for
1126
2:13:27
2:13:34
certainty in the chess games that are going on on this planet is ridiculous. All right, Stephen,
1127
2:13:34
2:13:40
over to you. And then the last 10 minutes and any chat. Save the chats, everybody. Eamon,
1128
2:13:40
2:13:43
I'll send the chat to you and introduce Jerry to anyone else who wants to. Stephen?
1129
2:13:45
2:13:49
Yeah. Thank you, Eamon, for answering these questions in the middle of your night.
1130
2:13:51
2:13:57
I just wanted to ask you about what are described as atrocities,
1131
2:13:58
2:14:08
as far as I know, anyway. So the Great March of Mao, Mao Zedong, then the Great Leap Forward,
1132
2:14:09
2:14:14
and then the Great Cultural Revolution. So the Great Leap Forward, I think, was 1948 to 1952.
1133
2:14:15
2:14:23
The Great Cultural Revolution was 1968 to 1976 when Mao Zedong died. Is that right? And then
1134
2:14:23
2:14:27
the Great March was in 1949, I think, or was it 1948?
1135
2:14:28
2:14:34
Yeah, this is during the Chinese Civil War. And again, I mean, it's
1136
2:14:35
2:14:42
there's very, very little known about it. I mean, so let me give you a parallel.
1137
2:14:44
2:14:51
The point I wanted to raise, Eamon, is this. It's alleged that all three of these events in China
1138
2:14:52
2:15:00
caused massive, a huge number of deaths. I think the Great Leap Forward, it's alleged that
1139
2:15:02
2:15:11
15 to 55 million, so that's the best they can do, 15 to 55 million people died. And what I've read
1140
2:15:11
2:15:18
about it, I don't know whether it's true, but it was about the crops. And they continued every year
1141
2:15:18
2:15:25
after the first year, they carried on making the same mistakes. I don't know,
1142
2:15:26
2:15:31
but I don't know whether you. Let me first. And also I want to ask,
1143
2:15:32
2:15:35
what's in Chinese schools about those events now?
1144
2:15:42
2:15:45
Well, there's a narrative about it, which is talk, but I'll give you the
1145
2:15:46
2:15:49
deepest talk. Firstly, understand something.
1146
2:15:52
2:16:01
Okay, the American Civil War. They say there's been about 20,000 books written on the American
1147
2:16:01
2:16:05
Civil War. So if you want to understand the American Civil War, you can read about it from
1148
2:16:06
2:16:11
so many different angles and get to understand it and all the contextual issues that don't
1149
2:16:11
2:16:16
find their way into the narrative. How many of those do you think were written in Chinese?
1150
2:16:19
2:16:24
You mean the American? Yeah, how many books on the American Civil War do you think have been
1151
2:16:24
2:16:29
written on Chinese? Very few, I should think. Very few, and I'll probably follow the original
1152
2:16:29
2:16:35
narrative. And I'll use that as an example. So unless you read the original Chinese of what's
1153
2:16:35
2:16:41
going on, you don't really understand. And the books that, I mean, well, they write about it
1154
2:16:41
2:16:49
afterwards. So yes, there's ambiguity about the American Civil War. There's ambiguity. Of course,
1155
2:16:49
2:16:58
there's ambiguity and uncertainty. We're all very uncomfortable with ambiguity, generally speaking.
1156
2:16:58
2:17:03
We want certainty in our lives. And that's why the existentialists view, you know, the maximum
1157
2:17:03
2:17:10
existence precedes essence. That's got me interjecting here. Thank you for listening to me.
1158
2:17:12
2:17:18
Yeah, Lou, I've got to tell you, the American Civil War has been a fascination with me since
1159
2:17:18
2:17:28
I was a kid. So I agree. But my point being is that it's not properly understood in the West.
1160
2:17:29
2:17:35
So yes, the Long March was part of the war. It was an amazing human achievement. Many died. It
1161
2:17:35
2:17:44
was dreadful. The great leap forward was about collectivism. Collectivism doesn't work.
1162
2:17:45
2:17:52
Collective farming doesn't work because it disincentivizes people. Now,
1163
2:17:53
2:17:57
in the initial days where they had the collective farming and a number of other things,
1164
2:17:59
2:18:04
it didn't work very well. The production was way, way down. But they carried on with it, right?
1165
2:18:06
2:18:14
Turns out that isn't exactly what happened. The production was, in fact, way up. People had less
1166
2:18:14
2:18:20
because, and this is the truth of it, was because Mao was taking the grain surplus and sending it
1167
2:18:20
2:18:27
to Russia for their help in developing a nuclear program. So they knew that collective farming was
1168
2:18:27
2:18:32
making the people unhappy. But it wasn't because it wasn't working. It's because they were taking
1169
2:18:32
2:18:40
all the surplus. OK? So the blame for the shortages goes on the collective farming policies,
1170
2:18:40
2:18:45
whereas in fact that wasn't true. There was plenty of food. It was just going elsewhere.
1171
2:18:46
2:18:49
The Cultural Revolution was really in the-
1172
2:18:49
2:18:55
Sorry. Why wasn't the blame directed to the government which had formed those policies?
1173
2:18:58
2:19:04
Well, it was, Stephen. I mean, at the time, there was a narrative. Nobody knew what was going on.
1174
2:19:05
2:19:11
You know, people were isolated. They weren't moving around. So you only got what you knew from the
1175
2:19:11
2:19:17
people that you were surrounded by in the official narrative. So it was a different time.
1176
2:19:19
2:19:25
The Cultural Revolution was essentially promoted by some of the hardliners like Jin Chang, who was
1177
2:19:26
2:19:35
widely hated, who was Mao's fourth wife, complete psychopath. And it was very much like the kind
1178
2:19:35
2:19:42
of hysteria that you see now with these LBTG kids. All right? It's an ideology. Nobody's ever
1179
2:19:43
2:19:47
ideologically pure enough for them. And there were complete atrocities committed.
1180
2:19:48
2:19:54
It was their sort of last ditch effort to save a failing system by rewriting and going back to
1181
2:19:55
2:20:04
year zero. I was there. I got there the day Mao died, September the 9th, 1990.
1182
2:20:04
2:20:11
Nobody was sorry to see him go. At the time, there was a power vacuum and it was taken over by what
1183
2:20:11
2:20:18
they called the Gang of Four, which included Jin Chang, Mao's ex-wife, and three or four other
1184
2:20:18
2:20:24
hardliners. And that was the case. And then in the end of October, so I'd been there about
1185
2:20:24
2:20:29
six weeks, they all got arrested and thrown in jail. And the whole country celebrated.
1186
2:20:30
2:20:40
So communism died then. It more or less died with Mao. Okay? And people talk about communist China.
1187
2:20:40
2:20:46
They use it as a slur to try and scare you. It's not really that anymore. The Chinese people have
1188
2:20:46
2:20:54
an affection for it because it was that freedom from the century of humiliation and imperialism.
1189
2:20:54
2:20:59
But they'll be moving on to a different system. They're not ideologically Marxist.
1190
2:21:02
2:21:10
Yeah. So, Eamon, and what, so I think we discussed it when we talked. So we've got these trojan
1191
2:21:10
2:21:18
horses for what we see as a descent into totalitarianism. Is what exists in China
1192
2:21:18
2:21:25
now totalitarianism or not? Because you described the people, I don't know whether they worship the
1193
2:21:25
2:21:33
state, but they certainly like the state. No, they accept the state. Okay. I thought you said that
1194
2:21:33
2:21:40
they were grateful to the state's foot. No, they understand. If you take a rationale,
1195
2:21:41
2:21:45
and people look at it in the context of what's happened in the last 40 years, they all appreciate
1196
2:21:45
2:21:54
that. They're all proud of the new China, or it's glistening new cities and high speed rail. And
1197
2:21:54
2:22:00
of course, because for 100 years, they were ashamed to be like Chinese. They were ashamed to be Chinese.
1198
2:22:00
2:22:05
They were treated like crap. They've got their sense of national pride back,
1199
2:22:05
2:22:07
but there's nothing dangerous or wrong about that.
1200
2:22:10
2:22:18
But there was something dangerous or wrong about what appeared to be happening in China with the
1201
2:22:18
2:22:27
zero COVID policy and the lockdowns. Yeah, there's aspects of that that I still can't explain,
1202
2:22:27
2:22:34
Stephen. There's still a lot of questions to be answered there. They went overboard,
1203
2:22:34
2:22:39
but most of the Chinese would agree. I can only assume that they were concerned about something
1204
2:22:39
2:22:47
more serious. So they believed that there was a disease called COVID-19?
1205
2:22:49
2:22:53
I don't know. To be honest with you, we can only look at one reaction.
1206
2:22:54
2:23:05
So what I'm trying to get at, so in China now, is the regime supported by what we would regard
1207
2:23:05
2:23:11
as propaganda and censorship? I mean, obviously, we've got the same problem in the Western world
1208
2:23:12
2:23:16
now, and maybe you've had it for some time, but not so well.
1209
2:23:17
2:23:29
Well, firstly, if you read the China Daily or something, there's areas they can't go into.
1210
2:23:29
2:23:33
So is there censorship? Yeah. But the government doesn't...
1211
2:23:35
2:23:41
I don't see where the government actually lies. That's important to them, credibility. So they're
1212
2:23:41
2:23:46
inclined to put a happy spin on things. Let me put it like that. But the Chinese people,
1213
2:23:46
2:23:53
and I mean, you've got to understand that, they have this very healthy cynicism about government,
1214
2:23:54
2:24:01
which is, I think, the sign of a healthy society. Well, they wouldn't change their system
1215
2:24:01
2:24:08
for anything else. Their democracy, their voice, their local issues have dealt with a local area.
1216
2:24:08
2:24:13
And, you know, trust me, when the Chinese get pissed off about something,
1217
2:24:13
2:24:18
they make the right people know about it. And if they got a reasonable case, they listen to it.
1218
2:24:18
2:24:21
I wish we had that in the West. But Eamon, how would we know about the
1219
2:24:23
2:24:29
possible dissidents who don't agree with what's going on and who have to sacrifice their lives
1220
2:24:29
2:24:37
for the collective good? This is what we don't like about what's happening in the West, you see.
1221
2:24:37
2:24:43
So that's why I'm asking. I don't know that this isn't happening everywhere. I don't know really
1222
2:24:43
2:24:49
about dissidents. They're usually people that get caught in corruption. There's a lot of
1223
2:24:50
2:24:56
Chinese that leave China for whatever reason, and then they turn against it. And I'm not trying to
1224
2:24:56
2:25:02
glorify China. My whole point here is to try and understand their mindset about what they're
1225
2:25:03
2:25:09
combating and to make the point that China isn't the problem in the world. China's a solution.
1226
2:25:10
2:25:13
You know, that may be the case. Even if any of these things.
1227
2:25:15
2:25:23
Yeah. So what I'm worried about is that the perception of what's going on in China is used
1228
2:25:23
2:25:30
by the people we're opposed to. Like the whole con- you know, oh well,
1229
2:25:31
2:25:38
I think you know what I mean. Yeah, no, I do. I mean, look, all I'm trying to do is count
1230
2:25:38
2:25:45
the narrative that you get there. And I mean, look, I remember it was last New Year's Eve and I was
1231
2:25:45
2:25:50
talking, I was round a friend's house and I was talking to this delightful Australian guy, 40s.
1232
2:25:50
2:25:58
Seemed like a complete red pillar. You know, talking about the government and New World Order
1233
2:25:58
2:26:03
and COVID and everything. Yeah, great. And then at the end of it, he said, but we got to do something
1234
2:26:03
2:26:10
about Chinese aggression. And I'm like, okay, give me an example of Chinese aggression. Give me
1235
2:26:11
2:26:16
an example of where China has invaded any other country in the last 5000 years.
1236
2:26:16
2:26:25
Yes, exactly. There is not one example. Not one example. That is the narrative. So the point I'm
1237
2:26:25
2:26:31
trying to say here is that, you know, all of us are duly skeptical about things that we hear,
1238
2:26:31
2:26:37
but there is this ambient propaganda that's relentless and it's always there against China,
1239
2:26:37
2:26:45
against Russia. Okay, that's the narrative. So, you know, people talk about Chinese aggression
1240
2:26:45
2:26:52
and usually they will come down to Taiwan. Aggression, what we've seen is 72 years of
1241
2:26:52
2:27:01
unbelievable restraint in the face of relentless American provocations against Taiwan. China is not
1242
2:27:01
2:27:07
going to attack Taiwan. The right people in China and Taiwan are talking to each other. It's not
1243
2:27:07
2:27:15
going to happen. And the will of Chinese people overwhelmingly, okay, is pro-China.
1244
2:27:16
2:27:21
And what you said about China just now, Eamon, isn't that true of Russia as well? Because as far
1245
2:27:21
2:27:31
as I understand it, Eastern Europe was handed to the USSR as part of the agreement. I don't know,
1246
2:27:31
2:27:43
reward for getting to Berlin first. But I don't see much evidence of USSR and Russia being
1247
2:27:43
2:27:55
expansive since 1945. Do you? No, I mean, that whole Cold War period is very widely understood.
1248
2:27:55
2:28:06
And you're seeing now a lot of people like Cold War 2.0. Well, firstly, the Cold War wasn't cold
1249
2:28:08
2:28:15
and it never finished. And there were opportunities for peace many times during that
1250
2:28:15
2:28:23
and it wasn't wanted and it was scoupled by the deep state. So that whole period needs to be
1251
2:28:23
2:28:29
better understood. Yes, so some people are thinking about it and who continually something.
1252
2:28:29
2:28:36
But during that period, let me explain, we had the Korean War, we had the Vietnam War,
1253
2:28:37
2:28:42
we had the Russian-Afghan War and we had all kinds of low-level conflicts going on.
1254
2:28:42
2:28:49
We had the anti-imperial forces against the empire. That was happening from 1945 to this day in Africa,
1255
2:28:49
2:29:02
Latin America, parts of Asia. But it's still going on. Everybody, and I have to say this is true
1256
2:29:02
2:29:08
about the Europeans, they just need to move on. They've all got historical animosities about
1257
2:29:08
2:29:15
previous transgressions. The Poles and Ukrainians, it hasn't seen occurred to them yet.
1258
2:29:16
2:29:21
Stalin is dead. Yes, he was an asshole. There was a lot of them about at the time.
1259
2:29:22
2:29:29
Putin is not Stalin. Move on. It's a new world. But Eastern Europeans, I swear to God,
1260
2:29:29
2:29:32
they have animosities that go back centuries and they can't let go.
1261
2:29:35
2:29:42
Yeah. No, Putin's Russia has been a force for good in this world and it gets on with everybody.
1262
2:29:42
2:29:50
It's the way it treats other countries and so has China's. I mean, they had the president of the
1263
2:29:50
2:29:58
Solomon Islands visit in Beijing. He got exactly the same VIP red carpet treatment that the president
1264
2:29:58
2:30:06
of the United States would get. Bad example. Bad example. All right. They treat countries with
1265
2:30:06
2:30:11
dignity. They don't turn around and talk down to them. And that's what you're hearing from
1266
2:30:11
2:30:17
Latin America. That's what you're hearing from Africa. This is the tide of history that is turning.
1267
2:30:18
2:30:27
But also, we are living through a time where we are witnessing for the first time in human history,
1268
2:30:27
2:30:29
the end of empires.
1269
2:30:29
2:30:30
All empires, you mean?
1270
2:30:31
2:30:37
All empires. Once this Anglo-American empire and its evil is vanquished from this world,
1271
2:30:37
2:30:43
and it will be, OK, we will see a different world where there won't be an anti-Egymon.
1272
2:30:43
2:30:49
So do you think that the Cold War was a construct just as the war on terror was a construct?
1273
2:30:50
2:30:52
And maybe the war on the world was a construct.
1274
2:30:52
2:30:53
Absolutely.
1275
2:30:53
2:31:00
So the demon, which is China, is also a construct. It just happens to fit in with an outside enemy.
1276
2:31:01
2:31:09
Yeah. Well, if you understand the people who love war and why, you'll understand why we always had
1277
2:31:09
2:31:15
them. If you followed the trajectory of the Cold War, there were so many opportunities.
1278
2:31:15
2:31:19
And I think that's what we're hearing from the people who are watching this.
1279
2:31:19
2:31:24
If you followed the trajectory of the Cold War, there were so many opportunities for peace.
1280
2:31:25
2:31:32
Peace was never the objective. Russia, I'm not saying it was great at the time,
1281
2:31:32
2:31:36
but I'm saying that Russia was the enemy that they needed.
1282
2:31:37
2:31:38
Was the...
1283
2:31:39
2:31:48
In 1990, when the Soviet Union fell, it then eliminated the only credible enemy that the West
1284
2:31:48
2:31:54
had. NATO should have disbanded. The military industrial complex should have scaled back
1285
2:31:55
2:32:03
considerably. So whereas the financial arm of the banker industrial complex was making hay in Russia,
1286
2:32:03
2:32:10
okay, the military side of it was pouting. Then we have 9-11. Now we've got a new enemy,
1287
2:32:10
2:32:12
an invisible enemy. Exactly.
1288
2:32:12
2:32:17
An abstract. Which by the way, Eamon, justified all the security measures in the air ports.
1289
2:32:17
2:32:20
Do you mind taking off your shoes, sir, and all this nonsense?
1290
2:32:21
2:32:23
All right. We're going to go.
1291
2:32:23
2:32:32
We learned helplessness. Yeah. Listen, I was an early member of scholars for 9-11 truth. I was
1292
2:32:32
2:32:39
there at the time. I was in Cleveland on 9-11. You could see it was bullshit from the minute.
1293
2:32:40
2:32:47
So yeah, that was all part of it. The reason we don't have any peace is the people in power
1294
2:32:47
2:32:49
don't want peace because it doesn't serve their interests.
1295
2:32:51
2:32:56
But the ridiculous part about the war on terror was that it should have been the war on terrorism.
1296
2:32:56
2:33:01
But even then you could argue that war is only against the state, not against the technique. So
1297
2:33:01
2:33:05
the whole thing was just nonsense. And people went along with it and thought it was a good idea that
1298
2:33:05
2:33:11
we have to sit and stand for two or three hours in security in airports when I'd rather take my
1299
2:33:11
2:33:16
chance with the terrorists. And by the way, where are the terrorists now? The hijackers?
1300
2:33:16
2:33:19
They've disappeared. Are they trying to suggest that?
1301
2:33:19
2:33:22
All right. Come on. Come on. Come on. We're finishing.
1302
2:33:23
2:33:29
Okay. Amon, we're over two and a half hours. You're wonderful. Congratulations on your great
1303
2:33:30
2:33:36
scholarship studying. Alex, thank you for introducing Amon to Stephen so that
1304
2:33:36
2:33:42
Amon could be with us. Thank you for all of the resources in the chats. Stephen,
1305
2:33:42
2:33:48
thank you for organizing Amon. And we're going to call you in 20 minutes to make sure you're
1306
2:33:48
2:33:55
still awake, Amon, so you haven't gone to bed. Well, bless you, Charles. You're a good,
1307
2:33:55
2:33:59
young man you are. Yeah, very cool. We love Charles.
1308
2:34:00
2:34:07
For he's a jolly good fellow. For he's a jolly good fellow. For he's a jolly good fellow.
1309
2:34:08
2:34:11
Would you know what he can do? Especially not here.
1310
2:34:11
2:34:15
Thank you. Great singing. Great singing. All right, everybody. A round of applause.
1311
2:34:15
2:34:20
A round of applause. A man wants to say something. Yes, go ahead.
1312
2:34:21
2:34:27
Could I just wrap up here? It's not exactly a plug, but I want to explain.
1313
2:34:27
2:34:33
We need to wrap you up like a mummy. We need to wrap you up like a mummy, Stephen. Come on.
1314
2:34:34
2:34:42
Amon. I'm a member of another group here on Koh Samui in Thailand called Samui Real.
1315
2:34:42
2:34:50
It's a community truth group. I stumbled across it about 18 months ago. For most of my life,
1316
2:34:52
2:34:57
it was the journey of the lonely truth where nobody wanted to listen to what was going on.
1317
2:34:59
2:35:04
And you end up living this parallel life. Let him speak, Lou, please.
1318
2:35:05
2:35:11
Lou, yeah, if you don't mind. I get introduced to this group who met during COVID.
1319
2:35:12
2:35:18
Now we meet every Wednesday. There's 60, 70 people there. We always have a talk.
1320
2:35:19
2:35:24
Alex is a friend of the group. He's done three magnificent talks followed by a Q&A.
1321
2:35:25
2:35:33
What I'm involved in now is community, developing these community groups because there's a template
1322
2:35:33
2:35:40
to how you go about developing these. And they're so important. Seeing so many people come
1323
2:35:40
2:35:45
through there over the last couple of years, we really begin to understand this awakening process.
1324
2:35:47
2:35:55
If you go back to the days of the Roman Empire, there was some foreign dignity visiting Rome and
1325
2:35:55
2:36:02
I think it was Tacitus or Sano or somebody was showing them around Rome. And the dignity said,
1326
2:36:02
2:36:08
how do you know which ones are the slaves? And they said, well, you don't. They just mingle with
1327
2:36:08
2:36:12
everybody else. And the guy freaked out. He said, well, you should make them wear like a
1328
2:36:13
2:36:19
yellow stole or a band so you know they're slaves. And he said, are you crazy? If they see how many
1329
2:36:19
2:36:25
of them are, they'll kill us all. It actually happened a few times in Rome. What everybody
1330
2:36:25
2:36:30
needs to understand with this awakening process is we are not alone. There was much more of us
1331
2:36:30
2:36:38
than we know. Look how many we are. Everybody needs to see that. And so many of these people
1332
2:36:38
2:36:42
that have come and come to these meetings for the first time and gone, I thought I was the crazy one
1333
2:36:42
2:36:48
because I'm trying to talk to my friends and family about COVID, about everything I found out. And
1334
2:36:48
2:36:55
everybody's saying I'm crazy. Well, it turns out I'm not the crazy one. So community is so important.
1335
2:36:55
2:37:01
So that's what I'm doing most of my time. I'd like to share some of the stuff that we've been
1336
2:37:01
2:37:09
doing on our group. So we have in person meetings, but also Zoom. So I did a talk last week and
1337
2:37:12
2:37:19
we're joined by Zoom from people from Argentina to Japan to Australia. So that's another group.
1338
2:37:19
2:37:28
We're about the same pursuit exactly as you guys are. And to go back to Amy, there is a very strong
1339
2:37:29
2:37:35
spiritual content and feeling and energy about the group. So I'll share that with
1340
2:37:37
2:37:43
Stephen and Charles and we'll see if there's any synergy there. But listen, it's my distinct pleasure
1341
2:37:44
2:37:51
to join you here today. And I'm very grateful to Alex for the introduction. Stephen, Charles,
1342
2:37:51
2:37:56
what you guys are doing is making a difference. So thank you so much, all of you.
1343
2:37:58
2:38:03
Well, thank you, Amy. We'll happily share that information. And as Meredith Miller, one of the
1344
2:38:03
2:38:09
presenters here, Amy shared with us and others who weren't at that talk, and I've been quoting
1345
2:38:09
2:38:15
it in a number of other meetings that I moderate, connection is the resistance. So
1346
2:38:17
2:38:21
I think it's a great slogan and you're doing it and Stephen's doing it, we're doing it here.
1347
2:38:22
2:38:27
Connection is the resistance. So it's a great idea. With that, we want to
1348
2:38:28
2:38:35
get together and having shared experiences. That is absolutely, they do not want us to see how many
1349
2:38:35
2:38:42
of us there are. That should be our focus. If everybody understands that, no, you're not crazy,
1350
2:38:42
2:38:50
all right. And when you talk about waking people up, trying to engage them on any particular
1351
2:38:50
2:38:56
subject is fruitless in my experience. You have to start by getting them confirmed that, look,
1352
2:38:56
2:39:00
do you believe the narrative? Do you believe what you're being told? Do you believe the government?
1353
2:39:00
2:39:07
Do you believe the media? Anybody with a modicum of intelligence will say no, well, that's fine,
1354
2:39:07
2:39:15
but we're on the same side. We both recognize the same lie. And we're both on a search for our own
1355
2:39:15
2:39:23
truths. And again, I completely applaud what you're doing. In fact, Charles, I'll have to get you
1356
2:39:23
2:39:31
on as a guest to one of our Wednesday meetings. You will feel the energy. Yeah, okay.
1357
2:39:31
2:39:33
Charles Larkin Pleasure. All right, everybody.
1358
2:39:33
2:39:34
Charles Larkin Thank you very much.
1359
2:39:34
2:39:36
Charles Larkin We'll also talk about industrial head for Thailand,
1360
2:39:36
2:39:41
which is a big opportunity. Okay, thank you. And for those of you who have the time,
1361
2:39:41
2:39:46
Tom Rodman has put the link into the video telegram conversation that will now continue.
1362
2:39:47
2:39:53
Eamonn, if you have time on that, if you save the chat, you go there, but I'm not suggesting you do.
1363
2:39:53
2:39:57
But there is a subsequent conversation and the link is there. Thank you, everyone, for being here.
1364
2:39:57
2:40:02
Thank you, Eamonn. Eamonn Where do I find the link? I'm fine. I'm up now. I'll put some more
1365
2:40:02
2:40:07
coffee on. Where do I find the link, Charles? Charles Larkin Tom, could you, it's in the chat,
1366
2:40:07
2:40:11
Eamonn. Tom, could you just make it easy for Eamonn to get onto the...
1367
2:40:11
2:40:18
Eamonn Yeah, telegram is not necessarily easy.
1368
2:40:18
2:40:21
Charles Larkin I got it. Okay.
1369
2:40:21
2:40:26
Eamonn The link is there. Yeah, you have to set up a telegram account. Okay.
1370
2:40:27
2:40:30
Which, and you don't have a smartphone, so I apologize for that.
1371
2:40:30
2:40:32
Charles Larkin No, I didn't. I'm already using it.
1372
2:40:32
2:40:34
Eamonn Oh, you do. Okay.
1373
2:40:34
2:40:39
Charles Larkin Beautiful. All right. Well done. Thank you, everybody.
1374
2:40:39
2:40:46
On we go and we'll be in touch and we will get the chat to you. Eamonn knows how to save the chat.
1375
2:40:46
2:40:49
On we go. Thanks, everybody. Eamonn Okay. Eamonn, thank you so much.
1376
2:40:49
